Product Overview

TELMISTRUM CH 40 combines two clinically proven antihypertensive agents:

• Telmisartan (40 mg) – an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB)
• Chlorthalidone (12.5 mg) – a thiazide-like diuretic

Together, they work synergistically to reduce blood pressure, decrease fluid retention, and lower the risk of cardiovascular complications such as stroke and heart attack.

This combination is often prescribed for patients who require stronger blood pressure control than monotherapy can provide.

How TELMISTRUM CH 40 Works

Telmisartan (ARB mechanism)

Telmisartan blocks angiotensin II receptors, preventing blood vessels from narrowing. This helps relax blood vessels and improves blood flow, reducing blood pressure.

Chlorthalidone (Diuretic action)

Chlorthalidone helps the kidneys remove excess salt and water from the body through urine. This reduces blood volume and further lowers blood pressure.
