Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide Tablet

Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide Tablet (TELTRIS-H) is a combination medication that consists of two active ingredients: telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide. Telmisartan belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin II receptor blockers, while hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic. This unique combination works synergistically to control blood pressure and provide an effective solution for hypertension.

Telmisartan acts by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels and raises blood pressure. By blocking the receptors for angiotensin II, Telmisartan helps to relax and widen the blood vessels, thereby reducing blood pressure. This results in improved blood flow and reduced strain on the heart.

Hydrochlorothiazide, on the other hand, is a diuretic that works by increasing the excretion of water and salt from the body through urine. As a result, it helps to decrease fluid volume, reducing the pressure within the blood vessels.

Uses of Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets

Effective Blood Pressure Control: Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide tablets are highly effective in reducing blood pressure levels. The combination of telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide ensures better control over blood pressure compared to using either medication alone.
