Expert advice for Telmodor-A 80/5 mg 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. Raising your legs when sitting, and reducing salt, helps with ankle swelling. Do not stop suddenly without asking your doctor.
