CompositionTelcard 80 Ch Tablet 10 is used to manage high blood pressure and to reduce the risk of serious heart-related events such as stroke and heart attack, particularly in adults aged 55 years or older at high cardiovascular risk who cannot take ACE inhibitors.
It combines telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, with chlorthalidone, a diuretic, which together relax blood vessels and remove excess salt and water to lower blood pressure. Take it as prescribed, and continue even when you feel well.
Reducing salt in your diet, staying physically active, maintaining a healthy weight and limiting alcohol help support better blood pressure control alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any kidney or liver problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, before starting this medicine, as it should not be used during pregnancy. Report persistent dizziness, muscle weakness, a fast or irregular heartbeat, or reduced urine output.
