How Does It Work?

• Telma-D tablet works by the combined action of telmisartan and indapamide.
• Telmisartan works by blocking the formation of a chemical called angiotensin II in the body responsible for the tightening of blood vessels.
• Indapamide works by acting on the kidneys. It increases the urinary output and hence increases the excretion of water and salt from the body. This helps in reducing cardiac output and blood pressure.
