Description
TELMA H is a prescription medication used primarily to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. It is a combination of two active ingredients: Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. This combination works together to effectively control blood pressure, reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack, and manage fluid retention in patients with heart failure.
Key Features:
- Telmisartan (Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker – ARB): Telmisartan is an ARB that works by blocking the effects of a hormone called angiotensin II. Angiotensin II constricts blood vessels, leading to high blood pressure. By blocking its effects, Telmisartan helps to relax the blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and reduces the strain on the heart.
- Hydrochlorothiazide (Thiazide Diuretic): Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill) that helps the kidneys remove excess salt and water from the body. This action reduces fluid buildup, lowers blood pressure, and decreases swelling (edema) caused by conditions like heart failure.
- Dual Action: The combination of an ARB (Telmisartan) and a diuretic (Hydrochlorothiazide) offers a comprehensive approach to managing high blood pressure and heart-related conditions. It both relaxes blood vessels and helps eliminate excess fluids from the body.
Indications:
- Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): TELMA H is used to treat high blood pressure in adults, either alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
- Heart Failure: It is also used to manage heart failure, particularly in patients who experience fluid retention, by helping to reduce swelling and improve heart function.
- Edema (Fluid Retention): The diuretic component helps treat edema caused by heart failure, kidney disease, or other related conditions.
