Description
Zitelmi-H Tablet is a prescription medicine that combines Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and Hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. This combination is prescribed for adults with hypertension (high blood pressure), especially when blood pressure is not adequately controlled with a single medicine. Effective blood pressure control helps reduce the long-term risk of serious cardiovascular complications.
Uses of Zitelmi-H Tablet
- High blood pressure (Hypertension)
- Reducing the risk of heart attack
- Reducing the risk of stroke
- Helping protect kidney function in patients with hypertension
Benefits of Zitelmi-H Tablet
- Effectively lowers high blood pressure
- Relaxes and widens blood vessels
- Removes excess fluid and sodium from the body
- Reduces the workload on the heart
- Helps lower the risk of cardiovascular complications
How Zitelmi-H Tablet Works
- Telmisartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to narrow. This relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure.
- Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (“water pill”) that increases the elimination of excess salt and water through urine, further helping to reduce blood pressure.
Together, these medicines provide better blood pressure control than either medicine alone.
