Aliskiren and Hydrochlorothiazide
Tekturna HCT is a combination prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two active ingredients that work together: aliskiren, a direct renin inhibitor that reduces the production of a hormone that raises blood pressure, and hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic that helps remove excess fluid from the body. This combination is typically prescribed when single-agent therapy is insufficient for blood pressure control.

Tekturna HCT is indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) in patients who require combination therapy to achieve adequate blood pressure control. It may be used as initial therapy or in patients already taking the individual components.
Aliskiren, a direct renin inhibitor, blocks the activity of renin, an enzyme that initiates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), a hormone cascade that contributes to high blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that promotes water and sodium excretion, reducing fluid volume and complementing the blood pressure-lowering effect of aliskiren.
Tekturna HCT is not recommended during pregnancy due to potential harm to the fetus. Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, and electrolyte abnormalities. Patients should inform their healthcare provider of all medications and supplements they are taking, as drug interactions can occur. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes may be necessary during treatment.
