About
TELLZY-AH 15 combines Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), with Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), a thiazide diuretic, for the effective management of essential hypertension. Telmisartan works by selectively blocking the AT1 receptors, preventing the vasoconstrictive and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II, thereby lowering blood pressure and protecting target organs. Hydrochlorothiazide enhances the excretion of sodium and chloride by inhibiting their reabsorption in the renal tubules, leading to increased urine output and a reduction in blood volume. This reduction in fluid volume contributes significantly to its antihypertensive effect.
The combination of an ARB and a diuretic provides a powerful and complementary approach to blood pressure control, particularly beneficial for patients who require more aggressive therapy or who have not achieved their target blood pressure with monotherapy. This dual action helps to achieve sustained and robust blood pressure reduction, minimizing the risk of cardiovascular events such such as stroke, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. It is a widely used and well-established therapy for long-term management of hypertension, offering comprehensive cardiovascular protection.
