The combined use of these components is stronger antihypertensive effect Than using them individually. The drug 1 per day results in significant gradual reduction of pressure.
Telmisartan - Selective receptor blocker angiotensin the second type. It has a high affinity for angiotensin II subtype AT1- . He replaces Angiotensin II from the receptor. The binding is long-lasting. Telmisartan It does not block other receptors (including AT2-type receptors) angiotensin . Telmisartan It reduces synthesis aldosterone .
In individuals with hypertension 80 mg telmisartan day completely suppresses effects angiotensin II . Onset of action occurs within three hours after consumption of the drug inside. The action persists for days. Permanent antihypertensive effect It recorded a month after the regular use telmisartan .
Hydrochlorothiazide It is diuretic thiazide-type. It affects the reabsorption of electrolytes in the renal tubules, directly increasing excretion of sodium and chloride. This causes a decrease in blood volume, an increase in activity Renin , An increase in the synthesis of aldosterone .
After applying hydrochlorothiazide diuresis increased after two hours, but the maximum effect is achieved after four hours and maintained for 6-12 hours.
Pharmacokinetics
Telmisartan. Rapidly absorbed from the digestive tract. The maximum concentration telmisartan It occurs within hours. Bioavailability is 50%.
Responding to blood proteins - more than 99.5%. It is metabolized by reacting with glucuronic acid . Derivative telmisartan pharmacologically inactive.
Half-life is about 20 hours. Excreted in the feces in its original form, and kidney - to 2%.
Pharmacokinetics telmisartan in elderly persons are not different from the younger patients. Selection of doses required.
Hydrochlorothiazide. After oral administration hydrochlorothiazide maximum concentration reached in 1-2 hours. Bioavailability is 60%.
Responding to plasma proteins - 64%. Do not metabolized and excreted by the kidneys unchanged.
Indications
Hypertension (if monotherapy telmisartan or hydrochlorothiazide ineffective).
