Telma-CT 80/12.5 Tablet comprises two active ingredients:

• Telmisartan (80 mg): As an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), telmisartan works by selectively blocking the effects of a hormone called angiotensin II on certain receptors in your body, specifically those found in smooth muscle and adrenal glands. By doing this, telmisartan helps widen your blood vessels and reduces the amount of water reabsorbed by your kidneys, leading to decreased blood pressure.

• Chlorthalidone (12.5 mg): This ingredient is a thiazide-like diuretic that works on your kidneys' specific parts to increase the excretion of sodium, chloride, and water from your body. This action leads to a decrease in the volume of fluid flowing through your blood vessels, thereby reducing your blood pressure.
