Description

Product Description

Telpres CT Tablet is a prescription medicine manufactured by Abbott that contains Telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and Chlorthalidone, a thiazide-like diuretic. This combination works by relaxing blood vessels and removing excess salt and water from the body, thereby lowering blood pressure. It is prescribed when single-drug treatment is not sufficient to control hypertension. Regular use helps protect against cardiovascular complications and supports overall heart and kidney health.
