Telmisartan 40Mg + Hydrochlorthiazide 12.5 Mg Tablets
Telmisartan is prescribed as a single salt or in combination with other drugs in the management of high blood pressure. High blood pressure is a condition that can damage the brain, kidneys, heart, and many organs. The damage to any organ can lead to heart attack, kidney failure, loss of eyesight, and many more.
It is also administered to patients, especially in older age suffering from cardiovascular disease to lessen the chances of heart attack, stroke, or death. This drug comes in the category of angiotensin blocker. Angiotensin consists of a protein hormone that results in stenosis in the blood vessels, therefore, Telmisartan blocks angiotensin and helps smooth the flow of blood and thereby increasing the efficiency of the heart.
Hydrochlorothiazide works as a thiazide diuretic. It helps in enhancing the urine flow, thereby, helping to reduce the water content in the body of the patient. Hydrochlorothiazide also helps to treat hypertension.

This combination of drugs is prescribed for patients having high blood pressure whereas Telmisartan alone is not adequate to control high blood pressure. It is essentially required to control high blood pressure as hypertension creates more workload on the heart as well as on arteries. This overload, if continued for a longer period, affects the functioning of the heart and arteries, thus, may result in damage to kidneys and brain blood vessels.
