TELMA 80 H (Telmisartan (80mg) + Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg))

Telma 80-H Tablet is a combination of two medications that work together to manage elevated blood pressure. This formulation is typically prescribed when a single medication fails to adequately control blood pressure levels. Maintaining lower blood pressure is crucial as it diminishes the likelihood of experiencing severe cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks or strokes in the future. The tablet can be ingested with or without food, and the prescribed dosage will be determined by your specific health condition and response to treatment. Consistency is important, so it is advisable to take the medication around the same time every day. Continuing the medication is vital, even if you start to feel better, until your healthcare provider advises otherwise. This medication includes a diuretic component, which promotes urination, hence it is recommended to avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime to minimize nighttime disruptions. Although high blood pressure typically presents no noticeable symptoms, discontinuing this medication might elevate your risk of serious heart-related issues. The most frequently reported side effect is dizziness, while others may include fatigue, nausea, difficulty breathing, and heart rhythm changes. Increased urination is an expected outcome due to the diuretic effect. While some side effects may arise, many are uncommon. It is important to review the accompanying informational leaflet and to communicate with your healthcare provider regarding any side effects that concern you or do not subside. Your dosage may need to be adjusted or an alternative treatment may be considered. Avoid using potassium supplements or salt substitutes unless specifically directed by your healthcare provider. This medication is generally contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Consult your physician if you have pre-existing kidney or liver conditions, heart issues, or diabetes. Alcohol consumption could further reduce blood pressure and may enhance side effects.
