Product Description
Telpres CT 80 Tablet is a prescription medicine manufactured by Abbott that helps control high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines Telmisartan, which relaxes blood vessels, and Chlorthalidone, a diuretic that helps remove excess salt and water from the body. This dual action helps lower blood pressure, reduce strain on the heart, and prevent complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage. It is usually prescribed when single-drug therapy is not enough to control blood pressure.
