Product Introduction
Telma H Tablet is a combination medication used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). It is often prescribed when a single medication is not sufficient to control blood pressure. By lowering blood pressure, it helps reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems in the future.
This tablet contains two active ingredients: Telmisartan (an angiotensin receptor blocker) and Hydrochlorothiazide (a diuretic). These medicines work together to relax the blood vessels and help the kidneys remove excess sodium and water from the body, which in turn reduces blood pressure.
Telma H Tablet can be taken with or without food. It is important to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your blood. Continue taking the medicine as prescribed, even if you feel fine, as high blood pressure often does not have noticeable symptoms. Stopping the medication can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, or other cardiovascular issues.
This medication also contains a diuretic (water pill), which will make you urinate more frequently. To prevent disrupting your sleep, it is advised to take the tablet earlier in the day, avoiding use close to bedtime.
Salt Composition/Key Ingredients:
- Telmisartan (40mg)
- Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg)
How to Use:
- Take Telma H Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
- Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or break it.
- It can be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time every day for best results.

How Telma H Tablet Works: Telma H Tablet is a combination of two medicines:
- Telmisartan: This medication relaxes and widens the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and lowering blood pressure.
- Hydrochlorothiazide: A diuretic (water pill) that helps the body get rid of excess salt and water, further reducing blood pressure.

These side effects are generally mild and tend to improve as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if they persist or cause discomfort, consult your doctor.
