Telo 40MG Tab

Tablet

Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure); reduction of cardiovascular risk (heart attack/stroke) in high-risk patients when appropriate.

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It blocks AT1 receptors, preventing angiotensin II–mediated vasoconstriction and aldosterone release, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing strain on the heart and blood vessels.

Oral tablet. Take exactly 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, low blood pressure, headache, fatigue, back pain, diarrhea, raised potassium (hyperkalemia), increased creatinine

Not recommended in pregnancy (can harm the unborn baby); avoid breastfeeding unless advised. Caution in kidney disease, liver impairment, dehydration/low salt, and in patients with low blood pressure. Monitor blood pressure, kidney function and serum potassium, especially after starting or dose changes. Risk of hyperkalemia—avoid potassium supplements/salt substitutes unless prescribed. Seek urgent help for facial/lip swelling or breathing difficulty (angioedema).

Potassium supplements/salt substitutes, potassium-sparing diuretics (e.g., spironolactone/eplerenone/amiloride), ACE inhibitors or aliskiren (higher risk of kidney impairment/hyperkalemia; avoid in diabetes with aliskiren), NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen/diclofenac—may reduce effect and worsen kidney function), lithium (increased lithium levels/toxicity), other antihypertensives/diuretics (additive hypotension)

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