Telmisartan 40mg +Chlorthalidone 12.5 mg Tablets Uses
This medication is a formulation that contains two anti-hypertensive formulations including Telmistran 40mg+ Chlorthalidone 12.5 mg. Telmisartan belongs to the medication type known as Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB). It works by blocking the action of the angiotensin, which leads to congested blood vessels, which causes increased blood pressure. By blocking angiotensin, Telmisartan relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. On the other side, Chlorthalidone belongs to the class of medications that works by reducing the extra fluids and salts from the blood, which leads to reduced blood pressure. Together these powerful medications work by lowering the blood pressure from the heart and arteries and provide proper control over hypertension.
