Macsart CL 10mg/40mg Tablet

Macsart CL 10mg/40mg Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage. It contains a combination of Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, and Chlorthalidone, a thiazide-like diuretic. Telmisartan relaxes and widens blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II, which lowers blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart. Chlorthalidone helps eliminate excess water and salt from the body, reducing blood volume and improving circulation. Together, this combination provides dual action for effective long-term blood pressure management. Doctors often prescribe it for patients who require stronger control of hypertension or those not responding adequately to single-drug therapy. Regular intake, along with lifestyle modifications such as reduced salt intake, balanced diet, exercise, and stress management, enhances the effectiveness of treatment and promotes cardiovascular health.
