You can take it with or without food.
Don't crush or chew the pill.

How it works:
Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide are the two drugs that make up Cresar H Tablet.
Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that stops blood arteries from tightening by relaxing and expanding them. This lowers blood pressure and makes blood flow better.
Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps the body get rid of extra salt and water through urine. This lowers the amount of fluid in the body and helps keep blood pressure under control even more.
They work together to give you two ways to effectively and long-term control your blood pressure.

Medicine interaction:
Cresar H Tablet could have an effect on the following medicines:
NSAIDs (such ibuprofen and diclofenac) may make it less effective at lowering blood pressure and harm the kidneys.
Potassium supplements and potassium-sparing diuretics (such spironolactone) can raise the levels of potassium in the blood.
Lithium: This could make lithium more harmful.
Antidiabetic drugs: Hydrochlorothiazide may elevate blood sugar levels, hence the dose may need to be changed.
Other blood pressure-lowering drugs: May reduce blood pressure too much.
Alcohol and sedatives: These can make you feel more dizzy or lightheaded.
Always tell your doctor about any vitamins or medications you are taking.
