Waymol TH Tablet

Introduction

Waymol TH Tablet is a combination medication primarily used for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure) and certain heart conditions. The tablet contains two active ingredients: Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ). Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels, while Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps reduce excess fluid in the body. Together, they work to control blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.

Uses of Waymol TH Tablet

• Management of hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Reduction of the risk of stroke and heart attack in patients with high blood pressure
• Prevention of kidney complications in patients with hypertension and diabetes

How Waymol TH Tablet Works

Waymol TH Tablet contains Telmisartan, which works by blocking the effects of a hormone called angiotensin II, causing blood vessels to relax and widen, thereby lowering blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide, the diuretic in the tablet, works by increasing urine production to help the body get rid of excess sodium and water, which also helps to lower blood pressure and reduce fluid retention.
