Telpres CT 80 Tablet

Product Overview:
Telpres CT 80 Tablet combines two active ingredients designed to manage high blood pressure effectively. Controlling blood pressure helps reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes.

This medication can be taken with or without food, depending on your preference. The dosage prescribed will vary based on your health condition and how your body responds to the treatment. It is important to take the tablet at the same time every day and continue the course as directed by your healthcare provider. Since it contains a diuretic (water pill), it increases urination, so it is advisable to avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime to prevent frequent nighttime urination. Regular use is crucial, even if you feel well, as hypertension often has no symptoms and stopping the medication may increase your risk of heart problems.

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 not a side effect but an intended effect of the diuretic component, chlorthalidone, which helps lower blood pressure. Most side effects are rare, but if you experience any persistent or bothersome symptoms, discuss them with your doctor. Adjustments to your medication or dosage may be possible.

This medicine is generally not recommended for use during pregnancy. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney problems, heart conditions, or diabetes. Alcohol consumption should be avoided, as it can lower blood pressure further and increase the risk of side effects.

Uses:

• Management of high blood pressure (hypertension)

Benefits:
Telpres CT 80 Tablet contains Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone. It is often prescribed when blood pressure is not sufficiently controlled with a single medication. Telmisartan helps relax and widen blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow and reducing blood pressure. Chlorthalidone acts as a diuretic, increasing urine output to lower blood volume and pressure. Keeping blood pressure under control lowers the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney complications. While immediate effects may not be noticeable, consistent use supports long-term cardiovascular health.

Side Effects:
Most side effects are mild and tend to subside as the body adjusts. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist or cause concern. Possible side effects include:

• Dizziness

• Back pain

• Sinus infections

• Diarrhea

• Skin reactions such as red spots or bumps

• Low potassium levels

• Increased uric acid levels

• Postural hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when standing)

• Impotence

• Loss of appetite

• Gastrointestinal discomfort

How to Use:
Take Telpres CT 80 Tablet exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Swallow the tablet whole without crushing, chewing, or breaking it. You may take it with or without food, but taking it at the same time daily is recommended for best results.

How It Works:
This medication combines Telmisartan, which blocks a hormone responsible for narrowing blood vessels, thus relaxing them and improving blood flow, and Chlorthalidone, a diuretic that increases urine production to reduce blood pressure.

Precautions:

• Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine, as it can increase side effects and cause a significant drop in blood pressure.

• Not recommended during pregnancy; consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy.

• Avoid use during breastfeeding due to potential harm to the infant.

• The medication may cause dizziness or drowsiness; avoid driving or operating machinery if affected.

• Use cautiously if you have severe kidney or liver disease, and dosage adjustments may be necessary. Avoid use in severe cases of these conditions.

Missed Dose:
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
