Overview Telfost AM 40mg/5mg Tablet

Lifestyle modifications – increased physical activity, smoking cessation, and a low-sodium, low-fat diet – enhance therapeutic benefits.

Due to potential drowsiness and dizziness, avoid activities requiring alertness until the medication's effects are known. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your physician. Prior to starting treatment, disclose any kidney or liver issues, or significant dehydration. Pregnant or lactating individuals should consult their doctor.
