Telmivas HZ Tablet is a combination of Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). This fixed-dose combination provides effective blood pressure control through dual mechanisms: relaxation of blood vessels and removal of excess fluid from the body. It is commonly prescribed in patients who require stronger antihypertensive therapy than monotherapy.

Mechanism of Action
This combination works through two complementary actions:
-
Telmisartan: An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking vasoconstriction and reducing aldosterone secretion.
-
Hydrochlorothiazide: A thiazide diuretic that increases renal excretion of sodium and water, reducing blood volume and lowering blood pressure.
Together, they provide enhanced and sustained antihypertensive effects.
