Twintel Ch 40/10/12.5 MG Tablet 10 contains three active ingredients that work collectively to manage hypertension:

• Telmisartan (40 mg): Telmisartan acts as an antagonist on angiotensin II receptors specifically on the AT1 receptor subtype, blocking angiotensin II's vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects that can increase blood pressure. It doesn't inhibit other receptors or ion channels that play a role in cardiovascular regulation.

• Clinidipine (10 mg): Classified as a calcium channel blocker, clinidipine prevents calcium influx across L-type and N-type channels in your body's cells. This action leads to vasodilation and smooth muscle relaxation, reducing peripheral vascular resistance and lowering blood pressure.

• Chlorthalidone (12.5 mg): This is a type of diuretic that acts on the kidneys, increasing the excretion of sodium, chloride, and water. This reduces the volume of blood and lowers arterial pressure.

• Store Twintel Ch 40/10/12.5 MG Tablet 10 in a cool and dry place, ideally at room temperature below 30°C.

• Keep it away from direct heat and light to maintain its strength.

• Ensure the tablet is out of reach of children for safety.

• Always check the expiry date on the package before using the medicine.

• Monitor your salt intake: Consuming too much salt can raise your blood pressure, which Twintel Ch 40/10/12.5 MG Tablet 10 is working to control. Try to limit your daily intake.

• Regular exercise: Physical activities like walking, cycling, or swimming can help lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health. However, consult your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
