Talmis-H 40/12.5mg Tablets
Talmis-H 40/12.5mg is a combination medication containing Telmisartan 40mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg. This dual-action therapy helps control high blood pressure (hypertension) more effectively than single-agent therapy. Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), relaxes blood vessels and reduces strain on the heart. Hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic, removes excess water and sodium from the body, helping lower blood pressure. Together, they support heart health and reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney complications.
