Glentel CT 80mg/25mg Tablets combine telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), with chlorthalidone, a thiazide-like diuretic. Telmisartan relaxes and widens blood vessels by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, while chlorthalidone helps lower blood pressure by increasing the elimination of excess sodium and water through the kidneys.
This combination is prescribed for adults with essential hypertension who require two complementary medicines to achieve adequate blood pressure control. Effective long-term management of hypertension helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications, including stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and kidney disease.
The medicine should be taken regularly as prescribed and used alongside healthy lifestyle measures such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, and regular physical activity.
