Product Description:
-
Telmisartan 80mg acts by blocking the angiotensin II type-1 receptors, preventing the hormone from causing blood vessel constriction. This results in relaxed blood vessels, reduced blood pressure, and improved blood flow. Telmisartan also provides cardio-renal protection, making it suitable for patients with comorbidities like diabetes or mild kidney disease.
-
Chlorthalidone 6.25mg is a potent diuretic that promotes the excretion of excess sodium and water, thereby reducing blood volume and pressure. Though used at a low dose, Chlorthalidone has a long half-life and is effective in improving blood pressure and reducing cardiovascular risk.
Together, they provide synergistic action with a lower risk of side effects, making Telozide™ an ideal option for patients who require mild but consistent hypertension control.
