• Tellzy-CH 40mg/6.25mg Tablet, a thiazide-like diuretic, might lower blood flow to the placenta and throw off the balance of electrolytes in the baby.
• While nursing, chlorthalidone may get into breast milk and lower the amount of milk produced. Unless your doctor tells you to, you shouldn't use this combo while breastfeeding.

Faq For Medicine

Q1.What is Tellzy-CH 40mg/6.25mg Tablet used for?

When one medicine isn't enough to lower high blood pressure (hypertension), this one is utilized. It lowers the chance of having a heart attack, stroke, or kidney damage.

Q2: If my blood pressure goes back to normal, may I stop taking the medicine?

No. Stopping immediately could cause blood pressure to increase again, which would make issues more likely. Follow your doctor's instructions.

Q3. When should I take this medicine?

Chlorthalidone makes you urinate more, therefore it's better to take it once a day in the morning, preferably after breakfast.

Q4. Is it okay to eat it?

Yes, you can take it with or without food, but to keep your blood pressure under control, you should take it at the same time every day.

Q5: Is it safe for those with diabetes?

Yes, however it's a good idea to keep an eye on blood sugar and kidney function regularly, as diuretics can change these levels.

Expert Advice

• Take the tablet at the same time every day, preferably in the morning.
• Too much salt and alcohol can make treatment less effective, so stay away from them.
• Drink enough water, but don't drink too much.
• Check your blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes on a regular basis.
• If you have ongoing dizziness, edema, muscular cramps, or weakness, tell your doctor.
• Don't take this drug when pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Don't use potassium supplements with this unless your doctor tells you to.

 Side Effects

• Some common side effects are:
• Feeling dizzy or light-headed
• More frequent urination
• Tiredness or weakness
• Low blood pressure (hypotension)
• Cramps in the muscles
• Thirsty or dry mouth
• Side effects that are less prevalent or less serious:
• Higher amounts of potassium (hyperkalemia)
• Low amounts of sodium or magnesium
• Gout (high uric acid)
• Changes in how the kidneys work
• Heartbeats that aren't regular
• Rash on the skin or an allergic reaction
• If you feel really dizzy, have swelling, or have trouble breathing, you should go to the doctor very once.

 How It Works

• This medicine has two antihypertensive drugs that act together to keep blood pressure under control:
• Telmisartan (40 mg): This is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that stops angiotensin II from working. Angiotensin II is a chemical that makes blood vessels tighter. This relaxes and opens up blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and makes blood flow better.
• Chlorthalidone (6.25 mg): A thiazide-like diuretic (water pill) that makes you urinate more to get rid of extra salt and water. This helps your body get rid of extra fluid and reduces your blood pressure even further.
• They all:
• Lower blood pressure in a useful way
• Make it easier on the heart
• Lower the chances of problems with the heart and kidneys

Medicine Interaction

• Don't mix with:
• ACE inhibitors (such Enalapril and Ramipril) might cause renal problems or very low blood pressure.
• Potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics (such Spironolactone or Amiloride) can raise potassium levels.
• NSAIDs (such ibuprofen and diclofenac) may make the blood pressure-lowering action less effective and hurt the kidneys.
• Lithium may make lithium poisoning worse.
• Chlorthalidone and other antidiabetic drugs can change blood sugar levels, so check them often.
• Alcohol or sedatives may make you more likely to get dizzy or have low blood pressure.
• Always tell your doctor about all the drugs you use, even those that are natural or available without a prescription.

 How to Use

• Every day, take one tablet, with or without food.
• Do not crush or chew it; just swallow it whole with a glass of water.
• Take it in the morning if you can to avoid having to pee a lot at night.
• Take your dose as soon as you remember if you forget it. If it's almost time for your next dose, omit the one you missed. Don't take two.
• Keep taking your medicine even if you feel OK. High blood pressure typically doesn't show any signs.

 Uses / Indications

• Primary Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
• Protects the heart and blood vessels by lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke.
