Description
Product Introduction
Telma-AM H 40 Tablet is a combination of three medicines designed to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), especially when a single medication is not effective. By lowering blood pressure, this tablet reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.
Salt Composition:
- Telmisartan (40mg)
- Amlodipine (5mg)
- Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg)
How Telma-AM H 40 Tablet Works:
- Telmisartan (40mg): An angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), which helps relax the blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure.
- Amlodipine (5mg): A calcium channel blocker (CCB) that widens blood vessels, further aiding in lowering blood pressure and improving heart function.
- Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg): A diuretic (water pill) that helps eliminate excess water and salt from the body, reducing fluid buildup and further lowering blood pressure.
Together, these medicines work in different ways to lower blood pressure, thus helping to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage.
How to Use Telma-AM H 40 Tablet:
- Dosage: Take the medicine as prescribed by your doctor, typically once daily. The dose may vary depending on your condition and response to the treatment.
- Timing: It’s best to take the tablet at the same time each day, either with or without food.
- Swallow Whole: Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet. Swallow it whole with a glass of water.
- Timing and Bedtime: Since Telma-AM H 40 Tablet contains a diuretic, avoid taking it too close to bedtime to minimize the need to urinate during the night (preferably at least 4 hours before sleep).
Benefits of Telma-AM H 40 Tablet in Hypertension:
- Lowers Blood Pressure: The combination of Telmisartan, Amlodipine, and Hydrochlorothiazide helps relax blood vessels and remove excess fluid, which in turn lowers blood pressure.
- Reduces Long-Term Risks: By controlling blood pressure, it lowers the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage. It works gradually, improving your overall health over time.
- Symptom-Free Treatment: You may not feel immediate effects, but consistent use is crucial to managing blood pressure effectively.
