MICARDIS PLUS TELMISARTAN HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE 80/25 MG CON 14 TABLETAS

MicardisPlus is a combination of two active substances, telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide, in one tablet. Both active ingredients help control high blood pressure. Telmisartan belongs to a group of medicines known as angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Angiotensin II is a substance produced in your body that causes your blood vessels to narrow, thereby increasing your blood pressure. Telmisartan blocks the effect of angiotensin II, so that your blood vessels relax and your blood pressure is lowered. Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of medicines known as thiazide diuretics, which increase your urine output causing a decrease in your blood pressure. High blood pressure, if left untreated, can damage the blood vessels in various organs, which can sometimes lead to heart attack, heart or kidney failure, stroke, or blindness. There are usually no symptoms of high blood pressure before the damage occurs. Therefore, it is important to regularly monitor your blood pressure to ensure that it is within the normal range. MicardisPlus is used to treat high blood pressure (essential hypertension) in adults whose blood pressure is not sufficiently controlled when telmisartan is used alone.
