Telpres H 40 Tablet

Product Overview:
Telpres H 40 Tablet combines two medications that work together to manage high blood pressure, especially when a single medication is not sufficient. Controlling blood pressure is important to lower the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and related complications.

This medication can be taken with or without food. The dose will vary based on your health status and response to treatment. For best results, take the tablet at the same time every day and continue the medication as advised by your healthcare provider. Since this tablet contains a diuretic, it increases urine production, so it is advisable to avoid taking it within four hours before bedtime to minimize nighttime urination. Even if you feel well, it is essential to keep taking the medicine regularly because high blood pressure often does not cause symptoms, and stopping treatment could increase your health risks.

The most frequently reported side effect is dizziness. Other possible effects include fatigue, nausea, shortness of breath, and irregular heartbeat. Increased urination is expected and part of how the medicine helps to reduce blood pressure. Most other side effects are uncommon. If you experience persistent or troubling symptoms, speak with your doctor, who may adjust your dosage or suggest an alternative treatment.

Avoid using potassium supplements or salt substitutes unless directed by your doctor. This medication is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice. Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, heart disease, or diabetes. Alcohol intake may lower blood pressure further and increase side effects, so consult your healthcare provider before consuming alcohol.

Indications:

• Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension)

How It Works:
Telpres H 40 Tablet contains two active components: telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide. Telmisartan relaxes and widens blood vessels to improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps remove excess salt and water from the body through increased urine output, aiding in blood pressure reduction. Regular use helps reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage.

Possible Side Effects:
Most side effects are mild and tend to fade as your body adapts to the medication. If side effects persist or cause discomfort, consult your healthcare provider. Common side effects include:

• Fatigue

• Dizziness

• Nausea

• Low magnesium levels

Usage Instructions:
Take this tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole without crushing, chewing, or breaking it. You may take it with or without food, but consistency in timing is important.

Precautions:

• Consult your doctor before consuming alcohol while on this medication.

• Avoid use during pregnancy unless specifically advised by your doctor due to risks to the developing baby.

• Breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before use, as the medication may pass into breast milk.

• This medication can cause drowsiness or dizziness; avoid driving or operating heavy machinery if affected.

• Use with caution if you have severe kidney or liver disease; dose adjustments may be necessary.

Missed Dose:
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is nearly time for your next dose. Do not double the dose to catch up; simply continue your regular schedule.
