Composition:

Each film coated Tablet Contains:

Telmisartan IP……40mg

Chlorthalidone ……. 6.25

Mechanism:

This tablet form of medicine is an amalgamation of two medicines named Telmisartan which is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist and Chlorthalidone which is a thiazide diuretic or water pill. Telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor antagonist, aids in relaxing and widening blood vessels (arteries). A diuretic called chlorthalidone prevents the body from absorbing more salt, which reduces fluid retention. Together, they reduce blood pressure and lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and edema(fluid retention) in the future.
