Telista-CH 40/6.25 Tablet

Introduction

Telista-CH 40/6.25 Tablet is a combination medicine commonly prescribed for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains Telmisartan (40 mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes and widens blood vessels, and Chlorthalidone (6.25 mg), a thiazide-like diuretic that helps remove excess salt and water from the body. The dual action of these ingredients helps lower blood pressure effectively and reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney complications associated with long-term uncontrolled hypertension.

Benefits

• Convenient once-daily dosing for long-term management
