Pregnancy Interaction

• Tetan CT 6.25 Tablet (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) is strictly contraindicated during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters, as it may induce fetal kidney failure, insufficient amniotic fluid, poor skull development, and even fetal mortality.
• Chlorthalidone (a thiazide-like diuretic) may lead to diminished blood volume, electrolyte imbalance, and impaired placental blood flow, potentially harming the fetus.
• So, this combination is not safe to take while pregnant, and you should stop taking it right away if you get pregnant.
• Breastfeeding: Both medications can go into breast milk and harm the infant. Don't use them while breastfeeding unless your doctor tells you to.

Faq For Medicine

Q1. What does Tetan CT 6.25 Tablet do?

It is used to lower high blood pressure (hypertension) and lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and renal issues that can happen when blood pressure is not controlled.

Q2. Is it okay to take this when pregnant?

No. It is not safe to use during pregnancy or by women who want to get pregnant.

Q3. How long will it take to see results?

After 1 to 2 weeks of frequent use, blood pressure normally starts to go down. After 4 to 6 weeks, the full benefits are seen.

Q4. Can I drink when I'm taking it?

Don't drink alcohol; it could make you more likely to feel dizzy, faint, or have low blood pressure.

Q5. What should I do if I forget to take my medicine?

Take it as soon as you think of it. Don't take two doses if you missed one. Just wait until it's time for your next dose.

Q 6. Can I stop taking it when my blood pressure goes back to normal?

No. Keep taking it as directed; quitting quickly can make your blood pressure go back up.

Q7. Can I take it if my stomach is empty?

Yes, you can take it with or without food, but it's best to do it at the same time every day.

Expert Advice

• For optimal benefits, take the drug at the same time every day.
• Unless your doctor tells you to, don't quit suddenly.
• Keep an eye on your kidney function and blood pressure on a regular basis.
• Don't get dehydrated; unless your doctor tells you not to, drink enough fluids.
• Don't take potassium supplements or salt alternatives because they could make your potassium levels too high.
• Eat a heart-healthy diet and cut back on salt.
• To keep from getting dizzy, get up carefully after sitting or lying down.
• Tell your doctor if you have muscle cramps, edema, or exhaustion that is out of the ordinary.

Side Effects

• Some common side effects are:
• Feeling dizzy or lightheaded
• Tiredness or weakness
• More urination because of Chlorthalidone
• Headache
• Feeling sick or having a little stomachache
• Side effects that are less prevalent but quite serious:
• Low blood pressure (hypotension)
• An imbalance of electrolytes, such as low sodium and potassium
• Muscle spasms or a heart that beats too fast
• Too much potassium in the blood (hyperkalemia)
• Dry mouth or dehydration
• Allergic reaction (swelling of the cheeks, lips, or tongue)
• If you are really dizzy, faint, or throw up a lot, you should see a doctor right once.

 How It Works

• Telmisartan stops angiotensin II from binding to its receptors, which keeps blood vessels from tightening and helps them relax, which reduces blood pressure.
• Chlorthalidone makes you pee out more salt and water, which lowers blood volume and helps drop blood pressure even more.
• The two drugs work together to lower blood pressure for a long time. Telmisartan keeps blood vessels relaxed, while Chlorthalidone gets rid of extra fluid.

Medicine Interaction

• Stay away from or be careful when using:
• Potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics (such spironolactone) can raise potassium levels.
• NSAIDs (like ibuprofen and diclofenac) make blood pressure lower less and hurt the kidneys.
• Other antihypertensives or diuretics may cause a reduction in blood pressure that is too low.
• Lithium – raises the risk of lithium poisoning.
• Antidiabetic medicines can make blood sugar levels go up and down.
• Corticosteroids or laxatives may make the electrolyte imbalance worse.
• Alcohol raises the risk of low blood pressure and dizziness.
• Always tell your doctor about all the medications and supplements you are taking.

 How to Use

• Take one pill per day, or as directed.
• Do not crumble or chew; just swallow whole with water.
• You can take it with or without food, but you have to do it every day at the same time.
• Keep taking it even if you feel OK; high blood pressure usually doesn't show any signs.
• Check your blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels on a regular basis.

 Uses / indications

• Essential (primary) hypertension—long-term blood pressure regulation.
• Preventing cardiovascular events, like a stroke or heart attack, in people who are at high risk.
• Protecting kidney function, especially in people with high blood pressure or diabetes.
• Adjunct therapy is when Telmisartan alone does not lower blood pressure enough.
