PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Telma-CT 40/6.25 Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), especially when a single medicine does not provide adequate blood pressure control. It combines two medicines that work together to lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and removing excess fluid from the body. Regular use helps reduce the risk of serious complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.

KEY USES AND BENEFITS

Telma-CT 40/6.25 Tablet is used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure).

It helps lower blood pressure by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. The medicine also increases the elimination of excess water and certain electrolytes through urine, which further helps reduce blood pressure. Maintaining controlled blood pressure lowers the risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney damage, and other cardiovascular complications. It is commonly prescribed when blood pressure cannot be adequately controlled with a single medicine.

COMPOSITION AND HOW IT WORKS

Telma-CT 40/6.25 Tablet contains Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone. Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels. This helps relax blood vessels and improves blood flow. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic (water pill) that helps remove excess water and certain electrolytes from the body through urine. Together, these medicines effectively lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Take Telma-CT 40/6.25 Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water without chewing, crushing, or breaking it. It may be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time each day. Since it contains a diuretic, it is advisable to avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime to reduce nighttime urination. Continue taking the medicine regularly even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms. Do not stop taking the medicine without consulting your doctor.

SIDE EFFECTS

Common side effects of Telma-CT 40/6.25 Tablet include dizziness, back pain, sinus infection, diarrhea, red spots or bumps on the skin, decreased potassium levels in the blood, increased uric acid levels in the blood, postural hypotension, impotence, loss of appetite, and gastrointestinal disturbances. Most of these side effects are mild and temporary and may improve as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if any side effects persist, worsen, or become bothersome.
