Description
Product Introduction
Telmikaa CT Tablet is a combination medication used to control high blood pressure (hypertension). By lowering blood pressure, this medicine reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. It is particularly effective when one medicine alone is not sufficient to manage blood pressure. The tablet contains two active ingredients: Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and Chlorthalidone, a diuretic (water pill).
You can take Telmikaa CT Tablet with or without food. It’s essential to take the medicine regularly at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels. The dosage will depend on your condition and how your body responds to the medicine. To get the most benefit, continue using it as prescribed, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms. Stopping the medication without consulting your doctor may increase your risk of cardiovascular complications.
Salt Composition/Key Ingredients:
- Telmisartan (40mg)
- Chlorthalidone (12.5mg)
How to Use:
- Take Telmikaa CT Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
- Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not chew, crush, or break it.
- The tablet can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to take it at the same time each day.

- You have kidney or liver disease, heart problems, or diabetes.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding (this medicine is not recommended during pregnancy).
- You are taking any other medications, especially those for high blood pressure or heart conditions.

Side Effects:
Common side effects of Telmikaa CT Tablet include:
- Dizziness
- Back pain

How It Works:
Telmikaa CT Tablet combines two medications:
- Telmisartan (40mg): A medication that relaxes and widens blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow and lowering blood pressure.
- Chlorthalidone (12.5mg): A diuretic (water pill) that increases urine output, helping to eliminate excess salt and water from the body, further reducing blood pressure.
Together, these medications work synergistically to control high blood pressure and reduce the risk of long-term cardiovascular and kidney complications.
