Teli-H Tablet

Teli-H Tablet is a combination of Telmisartan (40mg) and Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg), used in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that helps relax blood vessels, while Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps reduce fluid buildup. Together, they effectively lower blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. Teli-H is commonly prescribed for patients with hypertension to help maintain a healthy blood pressure level.

Telmisartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, thus helping to relax the blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide acts as a diuretic, removing excess sodium and fluid from the body, which further helps to lower blood pressure.
