Verified Ingredients and Effects
Composition:
CHLORTHALIDONE-12.5MG + TELMISARTAN-40MG
Uses:
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Medicinal Benefits:
Rextel CT Tablet belongs to the class of anti-hypertensives primarily taken to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Rextel CT Tablet is a combination of Telmisartan (angiotensin II receptor antagonist) and Chlorthalidone (thiazide diuretic or water pill). Rextel CT Tablet works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels (arteries), making the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. It helps to lower high blood pressure, thus reduces the chances of future heart attack and stroke. Besides this, it prevents excessive water and electrolytes (like sodium, potassium, etc.) from the body through urine which can otherwise raise high blood pressure. In addition to this, Rextel CT Tablet also reduces the future risk of any stroke or heart attack.
