Antel H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet is a prescription medication used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and reduce cardiovascular risks. It combines two active ingredients—Telmisartan (an angiotensin receptor blocker) and Hydrochlorothiazide (a thiazide diuretic)—to provide dual action against elevated blood pressure. This combination works by relaxing blood vessels and removing excess salt and water through urine, helping the heart pump more efficiently. Consistent use helps reduce the long-term risk of complications like stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage, especially in patients with comorbidities such as diabetes or chronic kidney disease. With regular use, it supports improved vascular health and sustained blood pressure control.
Uses
- Treatment of Hypertension
Benefits of Antel H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet
- Controls high blood pressure effectively by dilating blood vessels and promoting salt excretion to reduce strain on the heart.
- Reduces risk of cardiovascular events, including heart attacks and strokes, especially in high-risk patients with diabetes or kidney issues.
- Improves fluid balance in the body by acting as a mild diuretic, reducing swelling and excess fluid retention.
- Supports kidney health by easing pressure on the kidneys, helping prevent damage in patients with hypertension-related kidney disease.
- Delivers long-lasting blood pressure control, often effective with once-daily dosing and minimal disruption to daily activities.
How Antel H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet works
Antel H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet combines two mechanisms to lower blood pressure and manage fluid retention. Telmisartan blocks angiotensin II, a hormone that tightens blood vessels, leading to their relaxation and improved blood flow. Hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic, enhances salt and water excretion by the kidneys, reducing blood volume and easing pressure on the arteries. Together, these actions result in sustained reduction of blood pressure, decreased risk of cardiovascular incidents, and improved organ protection. This dual therapy is especially useful in patients who require more than one agent to achieve blood pressure targets.
