Telma- – Effective Hypertension Management

Telma-is a prescription medication used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). Each tablet contains Telmisartan 40 mg, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that works by blocking the action of a hormone called angiotensin II, which causes blood vessels to constrict. By inhibiting this hormone, Telmisartan helps to relax and widen blood vessels, leading to reduced blood pressure and improved heart function.

Telma-40 is an effective solution for patients suffering from essential hypertension and is also used to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems associated with long-term high blood pressure.

This pack contains 30 tablets, providing a month-long supply for daily hypertension management.


Key Benefits of Telma-40 Tablets:

  • Effective blood pressure reduction: Helps lower elevated blood pressure to reduce strain on the heart and arteries.

  • Cardiovascular protection: Reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage associated with hypertension.

  • Improves heart function: Supports better circulation and overall heart health.

  • Easy to use: Once-daily dosage for convenient blood pressure management.

  • Well-tolerated: Fewer side effects compared to other antihypertensive medications.


Active Ingredient:

  • Telmisartan 40 mg
    A potent angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the action of angiotensin II, which constricts blood vessels. This action helps to relax and dilate the blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure.


Indications / Uses:

  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
    Telma-40 is primarily used to treat high blood pressure, improving overall heart health and reducing the risks of complications like heart failure, stroke, and kidney disease.

  • Post-myocardial infarction (after a heart attack)
    It can be used to help prevent complications following a heart attack.

  • Kidney protection in patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension
    Telmisartan helps protect kidney function, which can be adversely affected by high blood pressure.


How Telma-40 Works:

Telmisartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. By preventing this action, Telmisartan helps to relax and dilate the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and reducing the overall blood pressure. This blood pressure-lowering effect helps prevent the long-term complications of hypertension, including heart failure, stroke, and kidney problems.


How to Use:

  • Recommended dosage: One Telma-40 tablet daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

  • Timing: Can be taken with or without food, but it is best taken at the same time each day to ensure consistent blood pressure control.

  • Do not exceed the prescribed dose and follow your doctor’s advice for the most effective results.

  • Do not stop the medication abruptly, as it may worsen blood pressure control and increase risks.


Precautions and Warnings:

  • Not recommended during pregnancy: Telmisartan is contraindicated during pregnancy as it may harm the fetus. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

  • Use with caution in patients with kidney or liver problems: If you have pre-existing kidney or liver conditions, discuss the risks with your healthcare provider before starting treatment.

  • Monitor blood pressure: Regular monitoring of blood pressure is essential to ensure the medication is working effectively.

  • Avoid salt substitutes: Do not use potassium supplements or salt substitutes without consulting your doctor.

  • Interactions with other medications: Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, especially diuretics, potassium supplements, and other antihypertensive drugs.

Common side effects are rare but may include:

  • Dizziness or lightheadedness (especially when standing up)

  • Fatigue or weakness

  • Back pain
