TELMA D (Telmisartan (40mg) + Indapamide (1.5mg))

Telma-D Tablet SR is a medication that combines two active ingredients to help in the management of hypertension, or high blood pressure. Uncontrolled high blood pressure poses significant health risks, including the potential for heart attacks, strokes, and kidney failure. It is essential to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the use of this medication. You may take Telma-D Tablet SR with or without food, and the prescribed dosage will vary based on your individual medical condition and response to treatment. For optimal results, it’s advisable to take the medication at the same time each day. It is crucial to continue taking this medication as directed, even if you feel well, because high blood pressure often presents without noticeable symptoms. Discontinuing this medication without professional guidance can elevate the risk of serious cardiovascular events. This medication includes a diuretic component, which promotes increased urine production; therefore, it is advisable to avoid taking it too close to bedtime to minimize nighttime urination. While dizziness is a frequently reported side effect, other side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, back pain, headaches, and cough. While increased urination is expected due to the diuretic action, most side effects are infrequent and generally resolve as your body adapts. It is advisable to read the accompanying patient information leaflet and inform your healthcare provider if side effects are persistent or concerning. Adjustments to the dosage or a switch in medication may be considered if necessary. Caution is warranted if you are pregnant, have kidney or liver conditions, heart disease, or diabetes. Consumption of alcohol while using this medication is discouraged, as it can further reduce blood pressure and lead to additional side effects.
