Uses of Telma H Tablet

Treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure), especially when blood pressure is not adequately controlled with telmisartan alone; helps reduce risk of cardiovascular complications related to uncontrolled hypertension.

• •Reduces risk of stroke/heart attack linked to hypertension
• •Provides additive BP control when one medicine is insufficient
• •Helps reduce fluid overload through diuretic action

How it works

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II, lowering blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that increases salt and water excretion via kidneys, reducing fluid volume and blood pressure. The combination provides additive BP-lowering effect.

Directions for use

Take as prescribed by a doctor, usually once daily at the same time each day. Can be taken with or without food; swallow tablet with water. Because it contains a diuretic, taking it in the morning is often preferred to reduce nighttime urination; do not stop suddenly without medical advice.
