Sartel H 80 Tablet

Product Introduction
Sartel H 80 Tablet is a combination medicine used to manage high blood pressure when a single medication alone isn’t enough to control it effectively. By lowering blood pressure, it helps reduce the risk of serious heart-related issues like heart attacks and strokes.

This tablet can be taken with or without meals, ideally at the same time every day to maintain consistent levels of the medicine in the body. It contains a diuretic (commonly called a water pill) that increases urine production, so it’s best to avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime to prevent sleep disturbances. Even if you feel fine, continue taking it regularly as prescribed since high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms, and stopping the medicine suddenly may increase your chances of complications.

The most common side effect is dizziness. Some people may also experience tiredness, nausea, changes in heart rhythm, or shortness of breath. Increased urination is expected and is part of how the medicine works to lower blood pressure. If any side effects persist or cause discomfort, speak with your doctor as your dose may need to be adjusted.

Avoid using potassium supplements or salt substitutes unless specifically advised by your doctor. This medication should not be taken during pregnancy or while breastfeeding unless absolutely necessary. Individuals with liver or kidney problems, heart issues, or diabetes should consult their doctor before use. Alcohol consumption may intensify the medicine’s effects on blood pressure and cause unwanted symptoms.

Uses of Sartel H 80 Tablet
• Management of high blood pressure (hypertension)

Benefits
Sartel H 80 Tablet combines telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide. Telmisartan works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow, while hydrochlorothiazide helps the body eliminate excess water and salts through urine. Together, they work to effectively lower blood pressure and reduce the chances of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney complications. Regular use is important for long-term health benefits, even though you may not feel immediate effects.

Possible Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary. However, consult a doctor if they persist or worsen.
Common side effects may include:
• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Reduced magnesium levels in the blood

How to Take Sartel H 80 Tablet
Swallow the tablet whole with water, without chewing or crushing it. Take it at the same time each day, with or without food, as directed by your doctor.

How It Works
This tablet combines two active ingredients: telmisartan, which relaxes blood vessels to improve blood flow, and hydrochlorothiazide, which increases urine output to remove excess fluid and lower blood pressure.
