Pexert-CR 12.5 Tablet is a prescription medicine primarily used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and related cardiovascular conditions. It contains Atenolol, a beta-blocker that works by slowing the heart rate and reducing the heart’s workload, helping to lower blood pressure and prevent complications such as heart attack or stroke. The “CR” (Controlled Release) formulation ensures a steady release of the medicine over time, maintaining consistent blood pressure control throughout the day. Pexert-CR 12.5 is usually part of a comprehensive treatment plan including diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications.
