Overview Telsartan-H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet

Each Telsartan-H 40mg/12.5mg tablet combines two blood pressure-lowering medications, offering effective control when a single agent proves insufficient. This dual-action approach reduces the risk of future heart attacks and strokes. The tablet can be taken with or without food, at the same time daily, as directed by your physician. Consistent use is crucial, as discontinuation increases cardiovascular risks. The formulation includes a diuretic, promoting increased urination; therefore, avoid dosing within four hours of bedtime. While high blood pressure is often asymptomatic, continued medication is essential for optimal benefit. Dizziness is the most common side effect; others include fatigue, nausea, dyspnea, and palpitations. Increased urination is a therapeutic effect, not a side effect. Less frequent, but possible, side effects are detailed in the accompanying patient information leaflet; report any persistent or bothersome effects to your doctor, who may adjust your dosage or medication. Potassium supplements and salt substitutes should only be used under medical supervision. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding; consult your physician if you have kidney or liver disease, cardiac issues, or diabetes. Alcohol consumption may exacerbate blood pressure lowering and side effects.
