Uses of Telzeal-H Tablet

• Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)
• especially when single-agent therapy is not adequate; helps reduce risk of cardiovascular complications associated with uncontrolled BP.

• Helps protect heart and kidneys by controlling BP
• Reduces fluid overload via diuretic action

How Telzeal-H Tablet works

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking AT1 receptors, lowering blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that increases salt and water excretion via the kidneys, reducing blood volume and BP. Together they provide additive BP lowering.

How to take Telzeal-H Tablet

Oral tablet: take as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow whole with water. Do not stop abruptly without medical advice; monitor BP regularly.

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

Expert advice for Telzeal-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.
