WHAT TELMISARTAN/HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE CHEMO IBÉRICA IS AND WHAT IT IS
USED FOR
Telmisartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Chemo Ibérica is a combination of two
active substances, telmisartan and
hydrochlorothiazide in one tablet. Both of these substances help to
control high blood pressure.

Telmisartan belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin II
receptor antagonists. Angiotensin-II is a substance
produced in your body which causes your blood vessels to narrow thus
increasing your blood pressure. Telmisartan
blocks the effect of angiotensin II so that the blood vessels relax,
and your blood pressure is lowered.

Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of medicines called thiazide
diuretics, which cause your urine output to
increase, leading to a lowering of your blood pressure.

High blood pressure, if not treated, can damage blood vessels in
several organs, which could lead sometimes to heart
attack, heart or kidney failure, stroke, or blindness
