How Telindia H Tablet works

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that helps remove excess salt and water through urine, further reducing blood pressure and swelling.

How to take Telindia H Tablet

Take by mouth as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow whole with water; avoid taking late in the day to reduce nighttime urination. Regular BP monitoring is advised.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

It can cause severe dehydration, a sharp fall in blood pressure and dangerous salt imbalances. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Expert advice for Telindia H Tablet

Blood pressure medicines work only while you take them — do not stop because you feel well. Tell your doctor at once if you become pregnant or are planning a pregnancy. Keep a home blood-pressure record if your doctor has asked for one. Weigh yourself at the same time each day if you have heart failure, and report a rapid gain. Do not add extra salt, and ask before using a potassium-based salt substitute.
