Common questions about Tekturna HCT

Tekturna HCT is a combination of two medications that work together to lower blood pressure. Aliskiren is a direct renin inhibitor. It stops a protein in your body called renin from squeezing your blood vessels. By blocking renin, your blood vessels relax, which helps to lower blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill). It works in your kidneys to remove extra fluids and certain electrolytes (like sodium and potassium) from your body. Your body removes this extra fluid and electrolytes when you urinate. With less fluid in your body, your blood pressure goes down.

No, Tekturna HCT has been discontinued and is no longer available in the United States.

It's not completely clear why Tekturna HCT was discontinued, but the FDA states that it wasn't because of safety issues or because it didn't work well.

The two active ingredients in Tekturna HCT, aliskiren and hydrochlorothiazide, are still available as single-ingredient medications. In addition, there are several combination medications that are safe and commonly used today to help with high blood pressure. Examples include Zestoretic (lisinopril / hydrochlorothiazide), Hyzaar (losartan / hydrochlorothiazide), and Exforge (amlodipine / valsartan). Speak with your provider about your blood pressure medication options. They'll help guide you to the best treatment plan for you.
