About the Product
Yogatel-H 40 Tablet is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It is typically prescribed when a single medication is not sufficient to control blood pressure effectively. Lowering blood pressure helps reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. Yogatel-H combines Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide to work together for better blood pressure management.
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 lowering blood pressure.
- Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg): A diuretic (water pill) that increases urine output, helping to remove excess salt and water from the body, which also contributes to lowering blood pressure.
How to Use
- Dosage: Take Yogatel-H 40 Tablet as directed by your doctor. The tablet can be taken with or without food, but it is advised 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 and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose.
- Timing: Since the medicine includes a diuretic, it may increase urination. It’s best to avoid taking the tablet within four hours of bedtime to prevent frequent nighttime urination.
- Regular Monitoring: Keep track of your blood pressure regularly as advised by your healthcare provider.
Restrictions
Before taking Yogatel-H 40 Tablet, inform your doctor if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Have a history of kidney, liver, or heart problems.
- Have diabetes or any condition that may affect electrolyte balance.
- Are using potassium supplements or salt substitutes. Avoid using them unless directed by your doctor.
- Are consuming alcohol, as it may further lower your blood pressure and increase side effects.
Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary, disappearing as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if they persist or cause concern, consult your doctor. Common side effects include:
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Decreased magnesium levels in the blood
If you experience more serious side effects like difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe dizziness, seek medical attention immediately.
How It Works
Yogatel-H 40 Tablet is a combination of Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide that works together to control high blood pressure:
- Telmisartan: Blocks the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone that normally causes blood vessels to constrict. By blocking this effect, it relaxes and widens the blood vessels, helping to lower blood pressure.
- Hydrochlorothiazide: As a diuretic, it helps remove excess fluid and sodium from the body through increased urination, which lowers blood volume and, in turn, reduces blood pressure.
By combining these two actions, Yogatel-H helps lower blood pressure effectively, reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage.
