Description
Tazloc-H 80 Tablet is a prescription medicine containing Telmisartan 80mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg. It is used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), especially in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with Telmisartan alone.
Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels, while Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps remove excess salt and water from the body through urine. Together, they effectively lower blood pressure and help reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and kidney damage.
