Telmisartan 80 mg Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg Tablet
The drug combination of Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide is indicated for controlling high blood pressure. High blood pressure can damage blood vessels in several organs, which could lead sometimes to heart attack, heart or kidney failure, stroke, or blindness. There are usually no symptoms of high blood pressure before damage occurs.
Telmisartan belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Angiotensin-II is a substance produced in your body which causes your blood vessels to narrow thus increasing your blood pressure.
Hydrochlorothiazide- belongs to a group of medicines called thiazide diuretics, which cause your urine output to increase, leading to a lowering of your blood pressure.
