Cordilor 40 mg Tablet

Cordilor 40 mg Tablet contains Telmisartan 40 mg. Prescription required.

Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure); reduction of cardiovascular risk in selected high-risk patients when ACE inhibitors are not suitable (as prescribed).

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It blocks angiotensin II at AT1 receptors, causing relaxation of blood vessels and reduced aldosterone effects, which lowers blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart.

Tablet for oral use. Take as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow with water; do not stop abruptly without medical advice.

Dizziness, headache, fatigue, low blood pressure, nausea, back pain, diarrhea, increased potassium (hyperkalemia), raised creatinine

Avoid use in pregnancy; can cause fetal harm. Use caution in kidney disease, liver impairment, dehydration/volume depletion, and in the elderly. Monitor blood pressure, kidney function and serum potassium, especially if taking diuretics or potassium-raising drugs. Not recommended with aliskiren in diabetes; avoid dual RAAS blockade unless specifically advised. Seek help for fainting, severe dizziness, or signs of high potassium (weakness, irregular heartbeat).

Potassium supplements/salt substitutes, potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone, eplerenone, amiloride), ACE inhibitors or aliskiren, NSAIDs (ibuprofen, diclofenac) may reduce effect and worsen kidney function, lithium (increased lithium levels/toxicity), diuretics (additive hypotension), other antihypertensives, alcohol (may increase dizziness)

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from moisture and direct light. Keep in original blister pack and out of reach of children.
