Arbitel 40mg/12.5H is a pharmaceutical-grade fixed-dose combination medication designed for the clinical management of hypertension (high blood pressure). It combines two active ingredients that work through different pathways: Telmisartan, an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels, and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), a thiazide diuretic that helps the kidneys remove excess salt and water. Together, they provide a stable clinical tool for achieving blood pressure targets when a single medication is not sufficient.
Active Ingredients: Telmisartan 40mg / Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg
Drug Class: Antihypertensive Combination (ARB + Thiazide Diuretic)
Formulation: Tablet
Route: Oral
Pack Size: 10 or 30 Tablets (Typical)
Availability: Prescription-Only Medicine (POM) — A valid doctor's prescription is required.
Micro Labs Limited — A leading global pharmaceutical company recognized for high-quality cardiovascular treatments and reliable metabolic health management.
Arbitel 40mg/12.5H is primarily indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension in adults whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled on Telmisartan alone. By combining a vessel relaxant with a mild diuretic, it effectively lowers both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, reducing the long-term risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure.
Pregnancy Warning: This medication is strictly contraindicated during pregnancy. It can cause serious injury or death to the unborn baby if taken during the second or third trimesters. If you plan to conceive, consult your doctor for safer alternatives.
Electrolyte Balance: The diuretic component (HCTZ) may cause changes in your body's levels of potassium, sodium, or magnesium. Your doctor may perform periodic blood tests to monitor these levels.
Kidney and Liver Function: Use with caution if you have severe kidney or liver impairment. Always inform your doctor of your full medical history before starting this combination therapy.
Photosensitivity: Hydrochlorothiazide can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Use sun protection or limit exposure to the intense Nigerian sun to prevent localized skin reactions.
Take Arbitel 40mg/12.5H exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The tablet is usually taken once daily, preferably at the same time each morning to avoid "nocturia" (increased nighttime urination). You can take the tablet with or without food, swallowed whole with a glass of water. Consistency is vital for maintaining blood pressure stability; do not skip doses even if you feel well, as hypertension often has no symptoms.
Commonly reported effects include dizziness, tiredness (fatigue), nausea, and a mild increase in heart rate. Some patients may experience a temporary increase in blood uric acid levels or localized muscle cramps. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience significant swelling of the face, lips, or throat, or signs of severe dehydration such as extreme thirst and dry mouth.
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Telmisartan tablets are sensitive to moisture; therefore, they must be kept in their original aluminum blister packaging until the moment of consumption. Exposure to the humid Nigerian environment can cause the tablets to degrade if removed from the packaging prematurely. Keep out of reach of children.
