Telmisartan 40mg/80mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg (BILAYER) is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).

Telmisartan (40mg/80mg) is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing the strain on the heart.

Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg) is a diuretic (water pill) that helps remove excess salt and water from the body through the kidneys, which further helps to reduce blood pressure.

The bilayer formulation ensures both immediate and sustained release of the medications, providing long-lasting blood pressure control. This combination is often prescribed when a single medication is not sufficient to manage hypertension, offering an effective dual approach to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.
