Telma 40 Tablet

Description

About the Product

Telma 40 Tablet is a medication primarily used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. It helps to lower blood pressure, thereby reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage. Additionally, it is effective in preserving kidney function, especially in patients with diabetes.

Telma 40 Tablet can be prescribed on its own or in combination with other medicines. It may be taken with or without food at any time of the day, but it is recommended to take it at the same time each day for optimal results. It is important to continue taking the medication regularly, even if you feel well, as stopping it can worsen your condition. The medication is considered safe for long-term use and is well-tolerated by most patients.

In addition to taking the medicine, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, weight loss, smoking cessation, reduced alcohol consumption, and a low-salt diet will help improve blood pressure management.

How It Works

Telma 40 Tablet is an Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB). It works by relaxing blood vessels, blocking the action of a chemical that normally constricts the blood vessels. This helps to lower blood pressure and allows blood to flow more easily, improving heart function and reducing strain on the heart and kidneys.
