Lowering your blood pressure is very important.
High blood pressure makes the heart work harder to pump blood throughout the body and causes damage to the blood vessels. If high blood pressure is not treated, it can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure—even vision problems.
Tekturna and Tekturna HCT are prescription medications that are approved to treat high blood pressure and are not approved to treat or prevent stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure, or vision problems resulting from high blood pressure.
