Indipil T Tablet 10's belongs to the class of anti-hypertensives primarily taken to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension or high blood pressure is a life-long or chronic condition in which the blood pressure against the artery wall becomes too high. It can lead to the risk of heart diseases, like heart attack and stroke.
Indipil T Tablet 10's is a combination of Telmisartan (angiotensin II receptor antagonist) and Indapamide (diuretic or water pill). Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker that helps to relax and widen the blood vessels (arteries). Indapamide is a diuretic that removes extra water and several electrolytes from the body. It also relaxes blood vessels and enhances blood flow. Together it lowers blood pressure and prevents the risk of stroke, heart attack and oedema (fluid retention).
