Description

Telma-D Tablet SR

Combination of Telmisartan (ARB) + Indapamide (Diuretic)
Used for: Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

Key Benefits:

• Controls BP by relaxing blood vessels (Telmisartan) and removing excess fluid/electrolytes (Indapamide).

• Reduces risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.

Dosage:

• Take once daily, with/without food, at a fixed time.

• Do not crush/chew (swallow whole).

• Avoid taking within 4 hours of bedtime (to prevent frequent urination at night).

Common Side Effects:

• Dizziness, headache, nausea, diarrhea, back pain, cough, weakness.

• Frequent urination is expected (due to diuretic effect).

Serious Warnings:

• Pregnancy: Unsafe (risk to fetus).

• Alcohol: Avoid (lowers BP further).

• Driving: May cause drowsiness/dizziness.

• Kidney/Liver Disease: Use with caution (dose adjustment may be needed).

If You Miss a Dose:

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

How It Works:

• Telmisartan: Blocks angiotensin hormone to relax blood vessels.

• Indapamide: Diuretic that reduces fluid overload and improves blood flow.

Note: Continue even if you feel well (hypertension often has no symptoms).

When to Consult Your Doctor:

• Severe dizziness/fainting, irregular heartbeat, signs of high potassium (muscle weakness), or worsening kidney function.

• Planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.
