Telista-CH 40 Tablet

Introduction

Telista-CH 40 Tablet is a combination medicine used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains Telmisartan (40 mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels, and Chlorthalidone, a thiazide-like diuretic that removes excess salt and water from the body. Together, they work to lower blood pressure, improve blood circulation, and reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney-related complications.

Benefits

• Provides dual action for effective blood pressure control
• Reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems caused by hypertension

• Improves blood flow by relaxing blood vessels
• Suitable for patients whose blood pressure is not controlled with a single medicine
• Once-daily dose offers convenience for long-term management
