Telsar-LN 10 Tablet

Description

About the Product:

Telsar-LN 10 Tablet is a combination of two active ingredients, Cilnidipine and Telmisartan, designed to effectively control high blood pressure (hypertension). By relaxing the blood vessels and improving the heart’s efficiency in pumping blood, this medicine helps lower blood pressure, reducing the risk of serious cardiovascular issues such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.

This medicine is usually prescribed when lifestyle changes like diet and exercise alone are not enough to control blood pressure. It is essential to take Telsar-LN Tablet regularly as per the prescribed dose to get the maximum benefit. Even if you feel well, continue using it to maintain healthy blood pressure levels.

Salt Composition/Key Ingredients:

Each Telsar-LN 10 Tablet contains:

• Cilnidipine (10mg): A calcium channel blocker (CCB) that helps to relax and widen the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
• Telmisartan (40mg): An angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that also relaxes the blood vessels by blocking a hormone that constricts blood vessels, helping to reduce blood pressure.

How to Use:

• Take Telsar-LN 10 Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or break it.
• The tablet can be taken with or without food. However, try to take it at the same time every day for consistent results.
• Do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better. Maintaining consistent blood pressure levels is crucial for your health.

Restrictions:

• Kidney or Liver Problems: Inform your doctor if you have any history of kidney or liver disease, as this medication may not be suitable for you.
• Severe Dehydration: Avoid using this medicine if you are severely dehydrated or have electrolyte imbalances.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Telsar-LN 10 Tablet.
• Other Medications: Ensure your doctor knows about any other medicines you are taking, as they could interact with Telsar-LN and affect how it works.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Ankle swelling (edema)
• Headache
• Flushing (warmth sensation in the face, ears, neck, and trunk)
• Dizziness
• Tiredness
• Palpitations (irregular heartbeats)
• Upset stomach
• Increased potassium levels in the blood
• Cardiogenic shock (in rare cases)

These side effects generally subside as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if any side effects persist or are bothersome, consult your doctor for further advice.

How It Works:

Telsar-LN 10 Tablet combines the action of Cilnidipine and Telmisartan to lower blood pressure:

• Cilnidipine (10mg): A calcium channel blocker (CCB) that works by relaxing the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body.
• Telmisartan (40mg): An angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the action of angiotensin, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. By blocking this hormone, Telmisartan helps widen blood vessels and reduce blood pressure.

Together, these two medicines work synergistically to provide better blood pressure control, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events and improving overall heart health.
