TEKTURNA HCT (ALISKIREN HEMIFUMARATE; HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE): This product is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This product contains 2 medications: aliskiren and hydrochlorothiazide. Aliskiren works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. It belongs to a class of drugs known as direct renin inhibitors. Hydrochlorothiazide causes your body to get rid of extra salt and water by making more urine. It is called a "water pill" or diuretic. FDA Approval Date: 2008-01-18 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
