Telmisartan 40 mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg
Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), especially when single-drug therapy is inadequate; helps reduce risk of cardiovascular complications associated with uncontrolled BP
Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II–mediated vasoconstriction and aldosterone release. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that increases salt and water excretion, lowering blood volume and blood pressure.
Take orally as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day; can be taken with or without food. Swallow tablet with water; do not stop abruptly without medical advice. If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless it is close to the next dose.
Common side effects of TELLME H TAB may include:
Not recommended in pregnancy (especially 2nd/3rd trimester); may cause dizziness—use caution while driving. Monitor kidney function and electrolytes (potassium, sodium) especially in elderly, dehydration, vomiting/diarrhoea, or renal impairment. Use with caution in liver disease, gout, diabetes, and in patients with low blood pressure/volume depletion. Risk of angioedema (rare); seek urgent care for facial/lip/tongue swelling. Can worsen kidney function in bilateral renal artery stenosis. Photosensitivity may occur with hydrochlorothiazide.
