How to use:
You should take it once a day, with or without food.
Take it at the same time every day.
Don't stop all of a sudden; it could make your blood pressure go up.
How it works:
Telmisartan stops angiotensin II receptors from working, which relaxes blood vessels and reduces blood pressure.
Chlorthalidone makes you urinate more, which lowers the amount of blood in your body and lowers your blood pressure.
The combination works better to manage blood pressure, especially for people who need both ARB and diuretic medication.
Faq for medicine:
Can I take Telpres CT every day?
Yes, but only if your doctor says so.
What if I forget to take a dose?
Please take it at your earliest convenience once you remember. If it's close to the next dose, don't take the one you missed. Don't take twice as much.
Will this make you pee more?
Yes, since it has a diuretic in it. It normally doesn't last long, so drink plenty of water.
Can I use it with other drugs for high blood pressure?
Mixing drugs requires a doctor's permission and may require monitoring renal function and electrolytes.
Is it okay for me to drink?
Limit how much alcohol you drink because it could make you feel more dizzy or less effective.
Medicine interaction:
Could interact with:
Other ARBs or ACE inhibitors can cause renal issues and high potassium levels.
NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen and naproxen, can reduce effectiveness and may harm the kidneys.
Lithium: danger of poisoning
Diabetes drugs may change the amount of sugar in your blood.
Tell your doctor about all the drugs and supplements you take.
