Mechanism

Telmisartan blocks angiotensin II receptors, preventing vasoconstriction and lowering blood pressure. Chlorthalidone increases urinary excretion of sodium and water, reducing blood volume. Together, they provide effective antihypertensive control.

  • Distribution: Protein-bound
  • Metabolism: Telmisartan metabolized in liver; Chlorthalidone minimally metabolized
  • Elimination: Renal excretion
  • Half-life: Telmisartan ~24 hrs, Chlorthalidone ~40-60 hrs
