Product Introduction
Telista-CH 40 Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). By effectively 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 and Chlorthalidone, which work together to manage high blood pressure. Telista-CH is commonly prescribed when a single medication does not adequately control blood pressure.
Salt Composition:
- Telmisartan (40mg)
- Chlorthalidone (12.5mg)
How to Use:
- Take Telista-CH 40 Tablet with or without food. However, it is recommended to take it at the same time each day for optimal results.
- Swallow the tablet whole, do not chew, crush, or break it.
- Avoid taking the medicine within four hours of going to bed, as it contains a diuretic (Chlorthalidone), which increases urination. This helps lower blood pressure, but frequent urination could disrupt your sleep.
- Do not stop the medication without your doctor’s advice, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms.
Common Side Effects:
Most side effects are mild and may go away as your body adjusts to the medication. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor:
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Headache
- Altered blood lipids (changes in cholesterol or triglyceride levels)
- Frequent urination (a result of the diuretic effect, not a side effect)
- Back pain
- Sinus infections
- Decreased potassium levels in the blood
- Increased uric acid levels (can lead to gout)
- Postural hypotension (low blood pressure when standing up)
- Impotence (in some cases)
- Loss of appetite

Precautions:
- Kidney and Liver Health: Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, as this medicine may need to be adjusted.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Telista-CH 40 Tablet is not recommended during pregnancy. Consult your doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
- Potassium: Avoid potassium-rich foods and supplements unless your doctor has approved them, as the medicine can increase potassium levels.
- Alcohol: Drinking alcohol may lower your blood pressure and increase the risk of side effects, so limit alcohol intake while taking this medication.
How Telista-CH 40 Tablet Works:
Telista-CH 40 Tablet is a combination of two medicines:
- Telmisartan (40mg): An angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax and widen blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow, which lowers blood pressure.
- Chlorthalidone (12.5mg): A diuretic (water pill) that works by increasing urine output, removing excess salt and water from the body, which further lowers blood pressure.
By combining these two medications, Telista-CH provides dual action to control high blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.
Uses of Telista-CH Tablet:
- Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Telista-CH 40 Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure when single-drug therapy is insufficient. The combined effect of Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone helps in maintaining blood pressure within normal limits.
- Prevention of Cardiovascular Events: By lowering blood pressure, it reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage in the long term.
