(JOSWE Medical) and distributed in Nigeria by Afrab-Chem Limited, Joltan 160mg is a trusted choice for managing cardiovascular health.
How Joltan 160mg Works
Joltan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a naturally occurring substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten. By relaxing and widening the blood vessels, Joltan helps to lower blood pressure, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body.

- Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): To lower blood pressure in adults and children aged 6 to 18 years.
- Heart Failure: For patients who cannot tolerate other types of heart medications.
- Post-Myocardial Infarction: To improve survival rates after a heart attack in clinically stable patients.
Dosage and Administration
The standard dosage for hypertension is often 80mg or 160mg once daily, depending on the patient's condition and the physician's recommendation. Always follow the specific dosage prescribed by your healthcare provider. It can be taken with or without food.
