Product Description

TELsar CH 40mg/12.5mg Tablet is a prescription medication designed to manage high blood pressure effectively. By lowering elevated blood pressure, it reduces the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. This combination medicine contains Telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes and widens blood vessels, and Chlorthalidone, a diuretic that increases urine output to further lower blood pressure. Together, these medicines provide comprehensive blood pressure control and long-term cardiovascular protection.

TELsar CH 40mg/12.5mg Tablet can be taken with or without food. For best results, it should be taken at the same time each day. It is important to continue this treatment as prescribed, even if you feel well, because high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms. Due to the diuretic effect of Chlorthalidone, it is recommended to avoid taking this medicine close to bedtime to prevent nighttime urination. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and weight management, can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.

Uses

Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)

Benefits

Lowers high blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart.
Protects against heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage.
Combines two mechanisms: vascular relaxation and diuretic action for effective blood pressure control.
Supports long-term cardiovascular health and reduces the risk of complications associated with hypertension.

How It Works

Telmisartan relaxes and widens blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the heart’s workload. Chlorthalidone, a water pill, promotes the elimination of excess salt and water from the body, lowering blood pressure. The dual action of these medicines ensures more effective and sustained blood pressure management.

Dosage and Administration

Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow it whole without crushing or chewing. A fixed daily schedule ensures maximum effectiveness.

Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and temporary. Common reactions may include dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, headache, altered blood lipid levels, decreased potassium levels, postural hypertension, impotence, loss of appetite, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Frequent urination is an expected effect of Chlorthalidone and is not considered a side effect. Consult your doctor if side effects persist or become bothersome.

Safety Precautions

Alcohol: Avoid consumption, as it may increase dizziness or lower blood pressure further.
Pregnancy: Not recommended due to potential risk to the developing baby. Consult your doctor.
Breastfeeding: Unsafe; may cause toxicity to the baby.
Driving: Avoid driving or operating machinery if you experience dizziness, drowsiness, or visual disturbances.
Kidney/Liver: Use caution in patients with kidney or liver disease; dose adjustment may be required. Not recommended for severe kidney or liver conditions.

Missed Dose

If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible. If it is near the time of your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your normal schedule. Do not double the dose.
