Telma ACT 40mg/5mg/12.5mg Tablet

Combination: Telmisartan (ARB) + Amlodipine (CCB) + Chlorthalidone (Diuretic).
Use: Treats hypertension when single-drug therapy fails. Lowers BP, reducing risks of stroke/heart attack.

Key Points:

• Dosage: Take with food, same time daily. Avoid near bedtime (increased urination).

• Side Effects:

  • Common: Swelling, dizziness, headache, fatigue, electrolyte imbalance, increased uric acid/glucose.

  • Serious: Postural hypotension, liver/kidney issues.

• Precautions:

  • Avoid alcohol (unsafe interaction).

  • Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Unsafe (risk to baby).

  • Driving: May cause dizziness/drowsiness.

  • Kidney/Liver Disease: Use with caution; dose adjustment may be needed. Avoid in severe liver disease.

• Monitoring: Regular BP, kidney function, electrolytes, and blood sugar checks.

Missed Dose?

Take ASAP, but skip if close to next dose. Never double dose.

How It Works:

• Telmisartan & Amlodipine: Relax blood vessels.

• Chlorthalidone: Removes excess fluid/electrolytes via urine.

Note: Continue even if asymptomatic—hypertension often has no symptoms.
