INTRODUCTION
ALTORAN CH 40/12.5MG is a fixed-dose combination of Azilsartan and Chlorthalidone which belongs to the group of medicines called Antihypertensive agents. It is used in adults to manage hypertension. Hypertension (also known as high blood pressure) is a medical condition in which the force of the blood exerted against the walls of the artery remains very high, and as a result it may lead to severe damage to the blood vessels supplying several organs, like heart, kidney, or brain.
Azilsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker. It acts by relaxing the blood vessels supplying the vital organs. Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-diuretic. It acts by increasing the removal of water and certain electrolytes (sodium and chloride) from the body in the form of urine which eventually reduces blood volume. Collectively, they improve blood flow through the blood vessels and reduces the elevated blood pressure.
While undergoing therapy with ALTORAN CH 40/12.5MG your doctor will regularly monitor your blood pressure, kidney function, blood sugar, cholesterol or uric acid levels and electrolyte profile (sodium, potassium, and magnesium levels) to avoid the risk of unwanted side effects.
