Overview

Telvas-LN 80 Tablet is a combination medicine used to manage high blood pressure. It helps lower blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to circulate blood throughout the body. By doing so, it reduces the likelihood of heart attacks, strokes, and other related complications.

This medicine can be taken with or without food, but for best results, it should be consumed at the same time each day as directed by your doctor. The dosage prescribed will depend on your health condition and how you respond to the treatment. Even if you feel healthy, it’s important to continue using this medication as stopping it without medical advice may increase your risk of serious heart problems. Adopting healthy habits such as exercising regularly, quitting smoking, and maintaining a low-salt, low-fat diet can further enhance the benefits of this treatment.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

Swelling in ankles or feet (edema)

Headache

Sleepiness

Dizziness

Fatigue

Changes in taste

Upset stomach

Flushing (a warm sensation on the face, ears, neck, or chest)

Palpitations

Increased potassium levels in the blood

Rarely, cardiogenic shock

Because dizziness is a possible side effect, avoid driving or performing tasks that require full attention until you know how the medication affects you. If any side effects bother you or persist, consult your doctor. They may adjust the treatment or recommend an alternative.

Precautions

Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver conditions or if you are experiencing severe dehydration. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should discuss with their healthcare provider before using this medication. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function may be required during the course of treatment.

Uses

Management of high blood pressure (hypertension)

Benefits

The two active ingredients, Cilnidipine and Telmisartan, work together to lower blood pressure. Cilnidipine, a calcium channel blocker, helps relax blood vessels, while Telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker, further widens blood vessels to improve blood flow and reduce strain on the heart. Regular use helps to lower the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage over time. Although the benefits may not be immediately noticeable, consistent use is essential for long-term health.

How to Use

Take this medication as instructed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole without chewing or breaking it. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it at the same time daily will ensure steady results.

How It Works

Telvas-LN 80 Tablet combines Cilnidipine and Telmisartan to lower blood pressure effectively. Cilnidipine blocks calcium channels in blood vessel walls, causing relaxation, while Telmisartan prevents hormones from tightening blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body.
