Telmisartan 40mg + Indapamide 1.5mg (BILAYER) is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and help prevent heart-related complications.

Telmisartan (40mg) is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. This helps relax and widen the blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and reducing the strain on the heart.

Indapamide (1.5mg) is a thiazide-like diuretic that helps reduce fluid retention by increasing urine output, which further helps to lower blood pressure by reducing the volume of fluid in the blood vessels.

The bilayer formulation ensures both immediate and sustained release of the medications, providing long-lasting control over blood pressure. This combination is typically prescribed for patients with hypertension, particularly when a single medication is not sufficient for adequate blood pressure control, offering an effective approach to managing hypertension and reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.
