Telma H 80
Rs. 0
Product Overview
Two medications, both of which help to regulate high blood pressure, are found in Telma 80-H Tablet. It is typically used when one medication is ineffective in adequately controlling blood pressure. Your likelihood of experiencing a heart attack or stroke in the future is decreased by lowering blood pressure.
You can consume food or no food while taking Telma 80-H Tablet. Your illness and how you react to the medication will determine the dosage. Try to take it every day at the same time. It's critical to continue taking this medication until your doctor instructs you otherwise. It is advisable to avoid taking this medication within four hours of going to bed because it contains a diuretic (water pill) and will cause you to urinate more.
The most frequent adverse effect is vertigo. Shortness of breath, nausea, diarrhea, flu-like symptoms, fatigue, and changes in heartbeat are a few other adverse effects. Frequent urination is not one of this medication's negative effects. It serves this goal because frequent urination aids in blood pressure regulation. Other potential adverse effects are possible, but they are generally uncommon. Make sure to read the informational leaflet that is included with your medications, and let your doctor know if you experience any side effects that bother you or don't go away. You might be able to change your dosage or try a different drug.

Benefits
Hypertension (high blood pressure) treatment
Telma 80-H Tablet contains both the medications hydrochlorothiazide and telmisartan. It is typically used when one medication is ineffective at properly lowering blood pressure. Telmisartan facilitates easier blood flow by relaxing and expanding your blood vessels. Your blood pressure will drop as a result. As a diuretic (water pill), hydrochlorothiazide causes an increase in urine production, which lowers blood pressure. A heart attack, stroke, or kidney issues are less likely to occur if your blood pressure is under control. For the medication to work, it must be taken as directed on a regular basis. Typically, taking this medication does not result in any immediate benefits for you, but it does work long-term to keep

How It works
Telma 80-H Tablet is a combination of the successful blood pressure-lowering drugs hydrochlorothiazide and telmisartan. An angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) is telmisartan. It relaxes the blood arteries by inhibiting the hormone angiotensin. This makes the heart's pumping action more effective and the blood flow more smoothly. A diuretic, hydrochlorothiazide flushes out surplus water and some electrolytes from the body. Additionally, it improves blood flow and blood vessel relaxation over time.
What if you forget to take?
If you miss a dose of Telma 80-H Tablet, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
