Overview
This medicine is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). Keeping blood pressure under control helps reduce strain on the heart, arteries, and kidneys, lowering the risk of long-term complications.
How It Works
It combines two ingredients that work together:
- Telmisartan relaxes and widens blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow.
- Chlorthalidone helps the body remove extra water and salt, which lowers blood pressure further.
Common Uses

- Reducing risk of heart attack and stroke
- Supporting kidney health in patients with hypertension
- Combination therapy when single medicines are not enough
Key Benefits
