Lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients helps prevent future heart attacks and strokes. Arbitel-H Tablet Tablet contains two medicines, both of which help to control high blood pressure. It is generally used when one medicine alone is not controlling the blood pressure effectively. Lowering blood pressure helps to reduce your risk of having a heart attack or a stroke in the future.
Arbitel-H Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) and Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill). They work together to lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and helping the body to get rid of excess salt and water.
