How It Works
Telmisartan belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin II
receptor blockers (ARBs). It blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance that
causes blood vessels to narrow, helping the blood vessels relax and allowing blood
to flow more easily.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or "water tablet" that helps the
kidneys remove excess sodium and water from the body. Together, these medicines help
reduce blood pressure.
