How it works:
Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) are two drugs that make up Cresar Plus Tablet.
Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that stops blood vessels from getting tighter. This lets them relax and get bigger. This helps lower blood pressure and make blood flow better.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps the body get rid of extra salt and water through urine. This lowers blood pressure even further by lowering the amount of fluid in the body.
These two chemicals work together to keep blood pressure at a healthy level and ease strain on the heart.
