Description

Co Tasmi 40/12.5mg Tablets contain Telmisartan + Hydrochlorothiazide and are made by Getz Pharma. Telmisartan relaxes and widens blood vessels by blocking the hormone angiotensin II, which lowers blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill) that removes extra salt and water, adding to the blood-pressure-lowering effect. You can order it online from Divine Medicines with home delivery across Lahore.
