About Telring-CH 40 Tablet

CHLORTHALIDONE+TELMISARTAN belongs to the class of anti-hypertensives primarily taken to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension or high blood pressure is a life-long or chronic condition in which the blood pressure against the artery wall becomes too high. It can lead to the risk of heart diseases, like heart attack and stroke.

CHLORTHALIDONE+TELMISARTAN is a combination of Telmisartan (angiotensin II receptor antagonist) and Chlorthalidone (thiazide diuretic or water pill). Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker that helps to relax and widen the blood vessels (arteries). Chlorthalidone is a diuretic that prevents absorption of excess salt in the body, preventing fluid retention. Together it lowers blood pressure and prevents the risk of any future stroke, heart attack, and oedema (fluid retention).

Medicinal Benefits of Telring-CH 40 Tablet

CHLORTHALIDONE+TELMISARTAN belongs to the class of anti-hypertensives primarily taken to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). CHLORTHALIDONE+TELMISARTAN is a combination of Telmisartan (angiotensin II receptor antagonist) and Chlorthalidone (thiazide diuretic or water pill). CHLORTHALIDONE+TELMISARTAN works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels (arteries), making the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. It helps to lower high blood pressure, thus reduces the chances of future heart attack and stroke. Besides this, it prevents excessive water and electrolytes (like sodium, potassium, etc.) from the body through urine that can otherwise raise high blood pressure. In addition to this, CHLORTHALIDONE+TELMISARTAN also reduces the future risk of any stroke or heart attack.
