Description

Telma-CT 80/6.25 Tablet is a combination antihypertensive medicine that provides effective blood pressure control with a lower diuretic dose. It contains:

Telmisartan (80mg): An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure.
Chlorthalidone (6.25mg): A thiazide-like diuretic that helps remove excess salt and water from the body, reducing blood volume and cardiac workload.

This combination is suitable for patients who require strong ARB therapy with a mild diuretic effect to maintain blood pressure while minimizing diuretic-related side effects.
