Product Description
OPTIDOZ is a fixed-dose combination medication that contains Telmisartan (20.00mg/Tablet), Hydrochlorothiazide (6.25mg/Tablet), and Amlodipine (2.50mg/Tablet). It is used to treat high blood pressure, specifically for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by monotherapy. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist that helps relax blood vessels, reducing blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that promotes the excretion of excess fluids and salt from the body. Amlodipine belongs to a class of medications called calcium channel blockers that help relax and widen blood vessels. Together, these three active ingredients work synergistically to lower blood pressure, improving overall cardiovascular health. OPTIDOZ helps in the management of hypertension and reducing the risk of related complications such as stroke and heart disease.
