ARBITEL H TAB

About

ARBITEL H TAB is a combination medication containing Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide, primarily used for the treatment of essential hypertension. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a natural substance in the body that narrows blood vessels. By blocking angiotensin II, Telmisartan helps to relax blood vessels, leading to a reduction in blood pressure and improved blood flow. This action reduces the workload on the heart and helps prevent cardiovascular complications.

Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic, often referred to as a "water pill." It works by increasing the excretion of sodium and water from the body through the kidneys. This reduction in fluid volume helps to lower blood pressure. The combination of Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide provides a synergistic effect, offering more effective blood pressure control than either medication alone. This dual action is particularly beneficial for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by monotherapy, helping to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease associated with uncontrolled hypertension.
