Eritel-CH 40 Tablet contains two active ingredients, telmisartan and chlorthalidone.
Telmisartan belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin II receptor blockers. It works by blocking the hormone angiotensin II, which normally constricts blood vessels. By blocking it, telmisartan helps relax and widen the blood vessels, reducing blood pressure levels.
Chlorthalidone is a diuretic. It increases urine production, helping remove excess water and salt from the body. This helps reduce fluid buildup and lowers blood pressure.
Together, telmisartan and chlorthalidone provide a dual mechanism of action in managing hypertension by both relaxing blood vessels and promoting the elimination of excess fluid, thus effectively lowering high blood pressure levels.
