Yogatel-CH 40 Tablet

Description

About the Product
Yogatel-CH 40 Tablet is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It helps lower blood pressure, thereby reducing the risk of serious cardiovascular issues like heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems. By combining two active ingredients, Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone, this medicine works effectively when single therapy is insufficient to control blood pressure.

Salt Composition/Key Ingredients

• Telmisartan (40mg): An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and thereby lowering blood pressure.
• Chlorthalidone (12.5mg): A diuretic (water pill) that increases urine output, helping remove excess sodium and water from the body, further helping to lower blood pressure.

How to Use

• Dosage: Take Yogatel-CH 40 Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same time each day for consistency.
• Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose. Do not take two doses at once.
• Important Note: Since the medication contains a diuretic, it may increase urination. It’s recommended to avoid taking the tablet within four hours of going to bed to minimize frequent nighttime urination.
• Regular Monitoring: Regular blood pressure checks are necessary to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment.

Restrictions
Before taking Yogatel-CH 40 Tablet, inform your doctor if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Have any kidney, liver, or heart conditions, or diabetes.
• Are taking any medications that affect blood pressure or electrolytes.
• Have a history of low potassium or high uric acid levels.

Drinking alcohol while on this medication can further lower your blood pressure and may increase the risk of side effects, so it is advisable to limit alcohol intake.

Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and tend to resolve as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if they persist or cause concern, consult your doctor. Common side effects include:

• Dizziness
• Back pain

• Red spots or bumps on the skin
• Decreased potassium levels in the blood
• Increased uric acid levels in the blood

If you experience symptoms like severe dizziness, fainting, or irregular heartbeat, seek medical help immediately.

How It Works
Yogatel-CH 40 Tablet combines Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone to control high blood pressure:

• Telmisartan: Works by blocking the action of the hormone angiotensin II, which normally causes blood vessels to constrict. By blocking this action, telmisartan helps to relax and widen the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and lowering blood pressure.
• Chlorthalidone: As a diuretic, it increases urine output, which helps remove excess fluid and sodium from the body, further reducing blood pressure. Over time, this also helps to reduce the workload on the heart.
