The medicine activity of active ingredients in Telma H tablet is as follows:

• Hydrochlorothiazide: It is a diuretic medication. It helps your body eliminate excess water and salt through increased urine production. By doing so, it helps reduce the volume of fluid in your blood vessels, which in turn lowers blood pressure. It also relaxes and widens blood vessels, making blood flow easier.
• Telmisartan: Telmisartan belongs to a class of medications called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). It blocks the hormone called angiotensin II, which normally causes blood vessels to narrow. This relaxes and widens the blood vessels, reducing blood pressure and allowing blood to flow more easily.
