TELPRES CT 80 TABLET

Description

Product Description:

• This dual-therapy tablet addresses two critical mechanisms involved in hypertension:

  • Telmisartan (80mg): A long-acting angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that works by blocking the hormone angiotensin II from tightening blood vessels. This helps blood flow more smoothly and lowers blood pressure. Telmisartan also offers cardiovascular and kidney protection, especially useful in patients with diabetes, obesity, or early-stage kidney disease.

  • Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg): A thiazide diuretic that helps reduce blood pressure by removing excess salt and water through urine. This reduces blood volume and in turn decreases pressure on blood vessel walls.

  Together, these two ingredients work synergistically to provide 24-hour blood pressure control, improve arterial health, and reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.

  Safety Advice:

  Before starting TelmiHCT™, it’s important to take note of the following precautions:

  • Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: This medicine should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Telmisartan may cause injury or death to the unborn baby if taken during the second or third trimester.

  • Kidney & Liver Conditions: Use with caution in patients with impaired kidney or liver function. Regular monitoring of renal function and electrolytes is recommended.

  • Electrolyte Monitoring: Hydrochlorothiazide can cause imbalances in electrolytes (e.g., potassium, sodium, and magnesium). Periodic blood tests may be required to ensure levels are within a safe range.

  • Diabetes: This medicine may slightly affect blood sugar levels. Diabetic patients should monitor their blood glucose regularly.

  • Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol may enhance the blood pressure-lowering effect and increase the risk of dizziness or fainting.

  • Interactions: Inform your doctor about all the medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and NSAIDs. Avoid potassium supplements unless prescribed, as Telmisartan already helps retain potassium.

  • Driving & Operating Machinery: If you experience dizziness or fatigue, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery, especially when starting treatment.

  What to Do If You Forget a Dose:

  • If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember on the same day.

  • If it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

  • Do not take two tablets at once to make up for a missed dose.

  Maintaining a consistent daily schedule helps keep your blood pressure stable.
