ARBITEL CT 40 TAB

About

ARBITEL CT 40 TAB combines Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), with Chlorthalidone, a long-acting thiazide-like diuretic. Telmisartan works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, leading to relaxation of blood vessels and reduced blood pressure. Chlorthalidone enhances the excretion of sodium and water from the body, further contributing to blood pressure reduction. This specific formulation, with a moderate dose of Telmisartan, is designed for patients who require effective blood pressure control and have not achieved target blood pressure with monotherapy. It offers a synergistic approach to managing essential hypertension, aiming to achieve target blood pressure levels and reduce cardiovascular risks.
