Tekturna may be the treatment you've been waiting for.
More than 1 out of 3 adults being treated with high blood pressure medication still have numbers that are too high. If your blood pressure is uncontrolled, you may benefit from prescription Tekturna. To understand how Tekturna works, you should know a little about an enzyme in your body called renin.
Renin and the renin system.
Renin is an enzyme that may contribute to high blood pressure. Renin is produced in the kidneys and it's part of the renin system, a chemical system that works throughout your body. It plays a role in blood pressure rising and falling. Renin starts a chemical process that narrows blood vessels. In some people, the renin system is inappropriately activated.
Tekturna is the only medication to directly target renin.
This innovative treatment may help lower your blood pressure by targeting an enzyme in your body called renin, which may contribute to high blood pressure. By inhibiting renin, Tekturna helps target the beginning of a process that may raise blood pressure.
Proven effective, Tekturna helps you get closer to your goal.
Tekturna works well in helping lower your blood pressure closer to 120/80 mm Hg, a normal blood pressure for most healthy adults. And you can take it in a convenient once-daily dose. National guidelines recommend treatment with medication for most people who have blood pressure higher than 140/90 mm Hg.
Talk to your doctor about what blood pressure numbers are right for you and if Tekturna may be an option.
Tekturna also offers BP Success Zone, a support program to help you get to your goal.
