Product Overview:
Telpres CT 40/12.5 Tablet combines two active ingredients designed to help manage high blood pressure (hypertension). Controlling blood pressure effectively lowers the risk of serious complications such as heart attacks and strokes.

This medication can be taken with or without food. The prescribed dose will vary depending on your medical condition and how you respond to the treatment. For best results, take the tablet at the same time every day and continue the treatment as advised by your doctor. Since the tablet contains a diuretic (water pill), it increases urine output, so it’s best to avoid taking it close to bedtime to prevent nighttime trips to the bathroom. Even if you feel well, do not stop the medication without consulting your healthcare provider, as high blood pressure often has no obvious symptoms but can still cause harm.

The most commonly reported side effect is dizziness. Other possible side effects include nausea, diarrhea, headaches, and changes in blood lipid levels. Frequent urination is expected due to the diuretic component (chlorthalidone) and is part of how the medicine helps to lower blood pressure. Most side effects are uncommon, but if any persist or cause concern, speak to your doctor as adjustments to your medication might be necessary.

Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, heart conditions, or diabetes. This medication is not recommended during pregnancy. Avoid consuming alcohol while on this treatment, as it can increase the risk of side effects and further lower blood pressure.

Uses:

Management of hypertension (high blood pressure)

Benefits:
Telpres CT 40/12.5 Tablet combines Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone to provide effective blood pressure control, especially when a single medication is not sufficient. Telmisartan helps by relaxing and widening blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow, while Chlorthalidone increases urine output to reduce blood volume and pressure. Together, they help lower blood pressure, reducing the likelihood of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage. The medication works over time to maintain your health, even though you may not notice immediate effects.

Possible Side Effects:
Most side effects are mild and improve as your body adjusts. Consult your healthcare provider if side effects persist or worsen. Common side effects include:

Dizziness
Back pain
Sinus infections
Diarrhea
Skin reactions (red spots or bumps)
Low potassium levels in the blood
Increased uric acid levels
Postural hypotension (blood pressure drop upon standing)
Impotence
Loss of appetite
Stomach upset

How to Use:
Take Telpres CT 40/12.5 Tablet exactly as directed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole without chewing or breaking it. You can take it with or without food, but try to maintain a consistent schedule.

How It Works:
This medication combines two active ingredients: Telmisartan, which relaxes and widens blood vessels by blocking a hormone that tightens them, and Chlorthalidone, a diuretic that helps reduce fluid buildup by increasing urine production. Together, these actions lower blood pressure and ease the heart’s workload.

Precautions and Warnings:

Alcohol: Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine, as it may increase side effects and lower blood pressure further.
Pregnancy: Not recommended during pregnancy due to potential harm to the fetus. Consult your doctor if pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Breastfeeding: Not recommended while breastfeeding because it may affect the baby.
Driving: This medication may cause dizziness or drowsiness. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you experience these symptoms.
Kidney: Use cautiously in patients with severe kidney disease; dose adjustments may be needed.
Liver: Caution is advised if you have liver problems. Dose modification may be required. This medication is not suitable for severe liver disease.

Missed Dose:
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose.
