Description
Product Overview:
Telmiduce H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It is prescribed when one medication alone is not enough to control blood pressure effectively. Lowering blood pressure helps reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other serious cardiovascular complications.
Salt Composition:
- Telmisartan (40mg)
- Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg)
How It Works:
- Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow. This action helps lower blood pressure.
- Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill) that increases urine production, helping your body get rid of excess salt and water. This also helps lower blood pressure by reducing fluid buildup in the body.
Together, these two medications work to lower high blood pressure, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and reducing the risk of complications like heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage.
How to Use:
- Dosage: Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the dosage. The dose will be based on your condition and how your body responds to the medication.
- With or Without Food: You can take Telmiduce H with or without food. However, it’s best to take it at the same time every day to help remember.
- Take Regularly: Even if you feel better, do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor, as high blood pressure typically has no noticeable symptoms, and discontinuing the medication may increase your risk of heart attack or stroke.
- Avoid Late Dosing: Since Telmiduce H contains a diuretic, it may increase urination. To prevent frequent trips to the bathroom at night, avoid taking the medication within 4 hours of bedtime.
Benefits:
- Controls High Blood Pressure: By combining telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide, Telmiduce H effectively lowers blood pressure and keeps it under control over the long term.
- Reduces Cardiovascular Risks: By controlling blood pressure, the medication reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney damage, and other complications associated with hypertension.
- Combination Therapy: This combination of two medicines works better for people who have not responded well to a single antihypertensive medicine.
Side Effects: Most side effects are mild and temporary as your body adjusts to the medication. If any side effects persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor.
- Common Side Effects:
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Decreased magnesium levels in the blood (which may require monitoring)
- Serious Side Effects:
- If you experience symptoms like severe dizziness, fainting, irregular heartbeat, or shortness of breath, seek medical attention immediately.
How to Take:
- Swallow the tablet whole: Do not chew, crush, or break it.
- Take at a fixed time: To improve adherence and ensure effectiveness, try to take the medication at the same time each day.
