Hydrochlorothiazide + Telmisartan helps treat Hypertension (high blood pressure).
Telmisartan falls under the angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) category. It acts by inhibiting the hormone angiotensin, thus relaxing blood arteries. It allows the blood to flow more easily and the heart to pump more effectively. Hydrochlorothiazide falls under the thiazide-like diuretic category. It reduces blood pressure by eliminating surplus water and specific electrolytes from the body. Gradually it also relaxes blood arteries and enhances blood flow.
