Sartel H Tablet

About Sartel H Tablet

Sartel H Tablet is commonly prescribed to manage high blood pressure (hypertension), a long-term condition in which the force of blood against the artery walls is consistently too high. If left untreated, it can increase the risk of serious health problems like heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular diseases.

This medication contains Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide, which work together to lower blood pressure. Telmisartan helps by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, while Hydrochlorothiazide acts as a mild diuretic (water pill) to eliminate extra salt and water from the body, preventing fluid buildup.

Some people may experience mild side effects while taking Sartel H Tablet, such as dizziness, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, back pain, or flu-like symptoms. These are generally temporary and resolve on their own. If they persist or worsen, medical advice should be sought promptly.

Sartel H Tablet can be taken with or without food, but it should always be swallowed whole with water. Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet. The exact dose and frequency will depend on your doctor’s recommendation based on your medical condition. Completing the full course of treatment is important for effective blood pressure management.

Inform your healthcare provider about any allergies before starting this medicine. Avoid using potassium supplements or salt substitutes unless specifically advised by your doctor. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical guidance before taking this medication. Sartel H Tablet should also be avoided by individuals who are unable to urinate or who have certain health conditions like liver disease, kidney problems, glaucoma, electrolyte imbalances, lupus, diabetes, or allergies to sulfa drugs or penicillin.

Benefits of Sartel H Tablet
This medication helps improve blood flow, makes it easier for the heart to pump blood, and helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels. It also supports the removal of excess water and electrolytes, preventing water retention and reducing cardiovascular strain.

How It Works
Telmisartan blocks angiotensin II, a chemical that narrows blood vessels, thus keeping them relaxed and open. Hydrochlorothiazide acts as a diuretic, removing extra salt and water through urine. Together, they effectively control blood pressure and lower the risk of heart and kidney complications.

Storage Instructions
Keep the medicine stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and out of reach of children. Store at room temperature, ideally between 10°C to 25°C.

In Case of Overdose
Taking more than the prescribed dose can cause symptoms like fainting, dizziness, and irregular heartbeat. If you suspect an overdose, seek immediate medical attention.
