Telmikaa H Tablet

Introduction

Telmikaa H Tablet is a combination medication containing Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide, used primarily to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels, while Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that helps reduce fluid retention. Together, these medications lower blood pressure and help reduce the risk of heart-related complications, such as stroke or heart attack.
