TELVAS-20 MG

Telvas 20 Tablet is a prescription medicine mainly given for the treatment of high blood pressure and heart failure. By lowering raised blood pressure, it reduces the chances of future heart attacks and strokes. In patients who have diabetes, it also plays an important role in supporting kidney function.

The medicine can be used by itself or in combination with other medicines depending on the individual case. It can be taken with meals or on an empty stomach, but it is best to take it at the same time every day. Continuing the course regularly is important, even if the person feels well, as high blood pressure usually does not show symptoms. Stopping the medicine suddenly can worsen the condition. This drug is commonly prescribed and generally considered safe for long-term use.

Healthy lifestyle changes can further improve its effect. Regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, and limiting salt in the diet are strongly recommended for better blood pressure control.

Some people may notice side effects while using this tablet, such as loose stools, discomfort in the back, swelling in sinus passages, or skin-related issues like ulcers. If these problems become troublesome or persistent, medical advice should be taken. Sometimes, adjusting the dose or switching to another medicine may help.

Before starting treatment, it is important to inform the doctor about any history of kidney or liver issues. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a physician before taking it. Doctors may advise periodic monitoring of kidney function, potassium levels in the blood, and blood pressure while the medicine is being used.

The main uses of this medicine include controlling hypertension, improving heart function in patients with heart failure, and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke.

By relaxing the blood vessels, Telvas 20 Tablet makes it easier for the heart to circulate blood throughout the body. This reduces strain on the heart and lowers the risk of complications linked to long-term high blood pressure.

Most of the side effects are mild and disappear once the body gets used to the medicine. These may include pain in the back, inflammation in the sinuses, leg pain during walking (intermittent claudication), diarrhea, or skin ulcers.

This tablet should be swallowed whole with water and not crushed or chewed. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it at a fixed time each day gives better results.

Telvas 20 Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called angiotensin receptor blockers. It works by blocking the effect of certain chemicals that normally cause blood vessels to tighten. When these chemicals are blocked, the vessels relax, blood pressure drops, circulation improves, and the heart is able to function more efficiently.

Certain precautions must be observed while taking this medicine. Drinking alcohol is not recommended as it can increase side effects. The medicine is unsafe during pregnancy because it may harm the developing baby, and caution is advised during breastfeeding as small amounts may pass into breast milk. Drowsiness, dizziness, or vision problems may occur, so driving or operating machines should be avoided if these symptoms are present. Patients with severe kidney or liver disorders may need dose adjustments or closer monitoring before continuing treatment.

In case a scheduled dose is missed, the patient should skip it and take the next dose as usual. Double doses should never be taken to make up for a missed one.
