How It Works
Telmisartan blocks angiotensin II receptors, preventing vasoconstriction and aldosterone release, leading to lower blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide inhibits sodium reabsorption in the distal tubule, increasing excretion of sodium, chloride, and water, which reduces blood volume and blood pressure.
