Description

Telma 80-H Tablet is a combination medicine used to control high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains:

Telmisartan (80mg): An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.
Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg): A thiazide diuretic (“water pill”) that helps the body get rid of excess salt and water, reducing blood volume and easing the heart’s workload.

This dual action makes it especially effective in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by telmisartan alone.
