Mavik

Mavik is a prescription drug that is used to treat several conditions related to the heart and blood vessels. Controlling high blood pressure is one of the licensed uses of Mavik. Another Mavik use is treatment following a heart attack to improve survival and/or decrease the chances of developing congestive heart failure symptoms. Mavik works by blocking the effects of an enzyme in the body that normally causes blood vessels to narrow. This lowers blood pressure and makes the heart more efficient. The drug comes as a tablet usually taken once or twice daily.
