Telpil-CH 80 Tablet

Telpil-CH 80 Tablet is a prescription medication used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines two effective ingredients: Telmisartan (80mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and Chlorthalidone (12.5mg), a thiazide-like diuretic. This combination works together to relax blood vessels and remove excess fluid from the body, helping to control blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.

Uses of Telpil-CH 80 Tablet

• Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension)
• Reducing the risk of cardiovascular events like stroke and heart attack
• Protecting kidney function in patients with hypertension or diabetes

How Telpil-CH 80 Tablet works

Telmisartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that tightens blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure. Chlorthalidone helps eliminate excess sodium and water from the body through urine, which also contributes to lower blood pressure. Together, they provide better control of hypertension than either medicine alone.
