Glentel 40H Tablets are used to manage high blood pressure, reducing the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. They work by relaxing blood vessels and helping the body eliminate excess water and sodium. The active ingredients are Telmisartan 40mg, which improves blood flow, and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 12.5mg, a diuretic that aids the kidneys in removing extra water and salt.
Anti-Hypertensives
Suggested Use
Glentel 40H Tablets are used in:
- Treatment of essential hypertension in adults, especially when blood pressure is not adequately controlled by monotherapy.
- May reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications associated with high blood pressure.
Dosage:
- Adults: One tablet taken orally once daily, with or without food.
- Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume the regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
