Product introduction
Telmikind H Tablet pairs telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker, with hydrochlorothiazide, a mild diuretic, to manage high blood pressure more effectively than either drug alone. It is typically prescribed once telmisartan by itself has not brought readings down to target levels. The diuretic component also helps the body get rid of excess salt and fluid, which supports the blood-pressure-lowering action of telmisartan. Regular monitoring is important since the combination affects both blood vessels and fluid balance.
Storage: Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
