What is Telmisartan-HCTZ?

Telmisartan-HCTZ is a generic prescription drug that reduces blood pressure for patients with high blood pressure (hypertension) who are not succeeding on single-drug therapy. The active ingredients are an angiotensin receptor blocker (telmisartan) and a thiazide diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide). They each use a different mechanism to lower blood pressure.

Hydrochlorothiazide works by reducing the kidney's ability to reabsorb water or salt from the urine, so more water and salt is flushed from the body. As the water content of the blood declines, blood pressure goes down. Thiazide diuretics often the first and safest type of diuretic used to treat hypertension.

Telmisartan blocks the action of a protein (angiotensin) that causes muscles in the blood vessels to contract, narrowing the blood vessels. The muscles lose tension and the blood vessels widen. As the passage grows wider, blood pressure goes down.

The most common physical side effects of hydrochlorothiazide are weakness, low blood pressure, nausea, stomach pain, constipation, and impotence. Allergic reactions are very rare but can be severe.
