Pregnancy Interaction

• Unsafe during pregnancy: You shouldn't use this medicine while you're pregnant, especially in the second and third trimesters.
• Tellzy-H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet is an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) that can lower the amount of amniotic fluid and damage the development of the fetus's kidneys, which might cause major problems.
• Tellzy-H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet is a thiazide diuretic that can lower blood flow to the placenta and induce jaundice or an electrolyte imbalance in the baby.
• When breastfeeding, hydrochlorothiazide may go into breast milk and stop lactation. Only take it if your doctor tells you to.
• Safer options: Labetalol or Methyldopa are usually safer for treating high blood pressure during pregnancy with a doctor's help.

Faq For Medicine

Q1: What is the purpose of Tellzy-H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet?

When one medicine doesn't work well enough to control high blood pressure (hypertension), this is utilized. It helps keep you from having a stroke, heart attack, or kidney damage.

Q2. When should I use this medicine?

Because Hydrochlorothiazide makes you urinate more, you should take it once a day in the morning, preferably after breakfast.

Q3. Is it okay to eat it?

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

Q4. Can I stop taking it if my blood pressure goes back to normal?

No. When you stop suddenly, your blood pressure may go up again, which raises your risk of heart disease. Before you stop, always talk to your doctor.

Q5. Is this drug safe for people with diabetes?

Yes, it is typically given to those with diabetes and high blood pressure, but their blood sugar and kidney function should be checked often.

Expert Advice

• Take the pill every day at the same time, ideally in the morning.
• Don't drink too much alcohol or salt, as they may make it less effective.
• Drink enough water, but not too much.
• Check your blood pressure, renal function, and salt and potassium levels (electrolytes) on a regular basis.
• Tell your doctor if you feel dizzy, very weak, or your feet or face start to swell.
• Not safe to use when pregnant or nursing.
• Unless your doctor tells you to, don't use potassium supplements.

Side Effects

• Some common side effects are:
• Feeling dizzy or light-headed
• Tiredness or weakness
• Hypotension, or low blood pressure
• More urination
• Cramps in the muscles
• Thirsty or dry mouth
• Side effects that are less prevalent or more serious:
• Too much potassium (hyperkalemia)
• Low amounts of magnesium or sodium
• High uric acid (gout)
• Problems with the kidneys
• Heartbeats that aren't regular
• Rash, swelling, and trouble breathing are all signs of an allergic reaction.
• If you get severe dizziness, swelling, or trouble breathing, get medical care right once.

 How it works

• This combination reduces blood pressure in two ways:
• Telmisartan (40 mg): This drug is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that keeps angiotensin II, a natural hormone that narrows blood vessels, from working. Blocking its function relaxes blood arteries and lowers blood pressure by reducing resistance.
• Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg): A thiazide diuretic (water tablet) that makes you urinate more often, which gets rid of extra salt and water from the body and lowers blood pressure and fluid volume.
• Combined Effect: They operate together to relax blood vessels, stop fluid retention, and keep blood pressure at the right level, which protects the heart and blood vessels better.

Medicine Interaction

• Do not mix with:
• ACE inhibitors (Enalapril, Ramipril) can cause kidney problems or very low blood pressure.
• Taking potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics (such Spironolactone or Amiloride) might raise potassium levels.
• NSAIDs (such ibuprofen and diclofenac) drop blood pressure less and may hurt the kidneys.
• Lithium—higher chance of lithium poisoning.
• Antidiabetic drugs: Hydrochlorothiazide might elevate blood sugar, therefore keep a close eye on it.
• Alcohol or sedatives might make dizziness or low blood pressure worse.
• Always let your doctor know about any other medications or supplements you are taking.

 How to Use

• You should take one pill per day with a glass of water. Don't crush or chew it.
• Take it in the morning if you can to avoid having to pee at night.
• If you forget to take a dose, do it as soon as you remember. Don't take the missed dose if it's almost time for the next one. Never take two doses at once.
• Keep taking it even if you feel OK; high blood pressure normally doesn't have any symptoms.

Uses / Indications

• High Blood Pressure (Primary Hypertension)
• Preventing cardiovascular events (such heart attacks and strokes)
• Protecting the kidneys in people with high blood pressure or diabetes
• Long-term blood pressure regulation for better heart health
