Telmisartan 40 mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg (per tablet)
Treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure), especially when single-drug therapy is inadequate
Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that increases salt and water excretion, reducing blood volume. The combination provides additive blood pressure reduction.
Take by mouth as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow with water; do not stop suddenly without medical advice. If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless it is close to the next dose.

Not recommended in pregnancy (may harm the fetus), especially 2nd/3rd trimester; avoid if history of angioedema with ARBs.
