Arceva 40/240mg Tablets – 8 Tablets – Blood Pressure & Cholesterol Management

Description

Arceva 40/240mg Tablets combine Telmisartan 40mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 240mg, offering dual-action therapy for patients who require blood pressure control and heart health support.

• Telmisartan (40mg): An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure, reducing strain on the heart.

• Hydrochlorothiazide (240mg): A thiazide diuretic that eliminates excess salt and water from the body, aiding in blood pressure reduction and reducing fluid retention.

This combination is ideal for patients with hypertension, particularly those who also need fluid management or additional cardiovascular risk reduction.
