The **Tel Q H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet** is a combination medicine containing **Telmisartan 40mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg**. Both ingredients work together to effectively control high blood pressure (hypertension). It is typically prescribed when a single medicine alone is not sufficient to manage blood pressure levels. Lowering high blood pressure significantly reduces the risk of serious health issues like heart attacks and strokes in the future.
