Telsartan-AM Tablet

Telsartan-AM Tablet is a combination medicine designed to manage high blood pressure. It helps relax blood vessels, allowing the heart to pump blood more efficiently, which in turn lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

This medicine can be taken with or without meals. It should be taken consistently at the same time each day as prescribed. The exact dosage depends on your medical condition and response to treatment. Even if you feel healthy, it is important not to stop this medication on your own, because high blood pressure may not show noticeable symptoms. Combining the tablet with lifestyle changes, such as staying physically active, quitting smoking, and following a low-salt, low-fat diet, can enhance its effects.

Possible Side Effects

Some common reactions include swelling of ankles or feet, headache, drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, and stomach discomfort. Because it may cause dizziness or sleepiness, avoid driving or performing tasks requiring full attention until you understand how it affects you. Consult your doctor if side effects persist or interfere with daily activities.

Before using this medicine, inform your healthcare provider if you have kidney or liver issues or are experiencing severe dehydration. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical advice before starting treatment. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function may be required while on this medicine.
