Telikap-H combines Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide to effectively manage hypertension, promoting heart health and overall well-being.
Telikap-H is a combination medication containing Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and Hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic. Together, they work synergistically to lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and reducing fluid retention. Telikap-H helps manage hypertension, reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems associated with high blood pressure.
