Telma Ct 40mg/6.25mg Tablet 10's

Telma Ct 40mg/6.25mg Tablet contains Telmisartan (40mg) and Chlorthalidone (6.25mg), a combination medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure, also known as hypertension.

It also acts as a diuretic, helping to remove excess salt and water from the body through increased urine production. This dual action effectively lowers blood pressure and helps reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.
