Telmisartan 40mg + Chlorthalidone 6.25mg/12.5mg (BILAYER) is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and help prevent cardiovascular complications.

Telmisartan (40mg) is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that works by blocking the effects of the hormone angiotensin II, leading to relaxation of blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart-related conditions like stroke and heart attack.

Chlorthalidone (6.25mg/12.5mg) is a thiazide-like diuretic that helps reduce excess salt and water in the body, further aiding in blood pressure reduction by decreasing the volume of fluid in the blood vessels.

The bilayer formulation ensures both immediate and sustained release of the medications, providing long-lasting blood pressure control. This combination is typically prescribed when a single medication does not provide adequate hypertension management, offering a dual approach to effectively lower blood pressure and reduce the risks associated with cardiovascular diseases.
