Product Description
TELSARTAN LNC 12.5 is a fixed-dose combination medication that contains Telmisartan (40.00mg/Tablet), Cilnidipine (10.00mg/Tablet), and Chlorthalidone (12.50mg/Tablet). Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by blocking calcium influx into cells, thereby reducing blood pressure. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic that promotes the elimination of excess fluid and salt from the body, further aiding in blood pressure control. This combination medication is prescribed to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and improve overall cardiovascular health. TELSARTAN LNC 12.5 provides a comprehensive approach to blood pressure management and reduces the risk of associated complications.
