VRITEL CH 12.5 TABLET

This combination medicine is used for effective and long-term control of high blood pressure, particularly in patients who need stronger and sustained BP reduction. Telmisartan works by blocking angiotensin-II receptors, causing relaxation and widening of blood vessels, which lowers vascular resistance. Chlorthalidone is a long-acting thiazide-like diuretic that helps remove excess salt and water from the body, reducing blood volume and blood pressure. Together, they provide powerful, 24-hour blood pressure control and help reduce the risk of heart, brain, and kidney damage.
