Telsarta D 40/12.5mg Tablet contains Telmisartan 40mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg, a combination of two antihypertensive medicines used to control high blood pressure (hypertension). It is manufactured by PharmEvo and combines an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) with a thiazide diuretic for improved blood pressure management.

Telmisartan helps relax blood vessels by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to tighten. Hydrochlorothiazide works as a diuretic (“water pill”) by helping the kidneys remove excess salt and water from the body. Together, they help lower blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart and blood vessels.
