Introduction
INTRODUCTIONINDITEL D is a combination of Indapamide and Telmisartan which belongs to the group of medicines called Thiazide diuretics and Angiotensin-II receptor blockers respectively. 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 vital organs, like heart, kidney, or brain.
