TELMISTRUM 80 H 

Telmisartan (80mg)+ HCTZ 12.5 mg

TELMISTRUM 80 H is a combination medication consisting of Telmisartan (80mg) and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) (12.5 mg).  By combining two active ingredients, TELMISTRUM 80 H effectively manages blood pressure levels and reduces the risk of cardiovascular events such as strokes and heart attacks.

How Does It Work?

Telmisartan

Telmisartan is a member of the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) drug class. It functions by preventing the body's production of angiotensin II, a chemical that narrows blood vessels. By inhibiting this action, Telmisartan helps relax and widen blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.

Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ)

Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill) that helps prevent the body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention. It works by increasing the amount of urine produced, helping the body get rid of excess salt and water. This process helps reduce blood pressure and swelling.

Uses

TELMISTRUM 80 H is primarily used for:

• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): The combination of Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide effectively lowers high blood pressure, reducing the strain on the heart and arteries.
• Cardiovascular Risk Reduction: By managing blood pressure, TELMISTRUM 80 H helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as strokes, heart attacks, and other heart-related conditions.

Dosage

The usual dosage of TELMISTRUM 80 H is one tablet per day. 

Administration

• Oral Intake: TELMISTRUM 80 H should be taken orally with a glass of water.
• With or Without Food: The medication can be taken with or without food, as per the patient's convenience.

Missed Dose

If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, the missed dose should be skipped to avoid double dosing.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

• Dizziness: Some patients may experience dizziness, especially when standing up quickly, due to the blood pressure-lowering effects.
• Fatigue: A feeling of tiredness or weakness may be experienced.

Serious Side Effects

• Electrolyte Imbalance: Hydrochlorothiazide can cause an imbalance in electrolytes, leading to symptoms like muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, or severe dizziness.
• Severe Allergic Reactions: Symptoms include rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, and trouble breathing.

Precautions

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: TELMISTRUM 80 H should not be used during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, due to the risk of harm to the unborn baby. It should also be used with caution while breastfeeding.
• Kidney and Liver Conditions: Patients with severe kidney or liver conditions should use this medication with caution and under medical supervision.
• Electrolyte Monitoring: Regular monitoring of electrolyte levels is recommended to avoid imbalances, particularly in patients with pre-existing conditions.
