Product Overview

About TELMISARTAN HCTZ

TELMISARTAN HCTZ is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and edema (swelling) associated with congestive heart failure, or with a kidney disorder known as nephrotic syndrome. It is a combination of two active ingredients: HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE and TELMISARTAN.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension)
• Edema (swelling) associated with congestive heart failure
• Edema (swelling) associated with a kidney disorder known as nephrotic syndrome

Active Ingredient & Action

TELMISARTAN HCTZ contains two active ingredients: HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE and TELMISARTAN. HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE is a diuretic that helps the body get rid of excess fluid by increasing urine production. TELMISARTAN is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist that relaxes blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and reducing blood pressure.

Before taking TELMISARTAN HCTZ, inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver disease, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is essential to follow your doctor's instructions and take the medication exactly as prescribed. Regular blood pressure checks and kidney function tests may be necessary while taking TELMISARTAN HCTZ.
