CompositionTELKONOL 40 TABLET 10 is a medicine used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and to lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems in adults at high cardiovascular risk. It also helps protect kidney function in people with diabetes.
TELKONOL 40 TABLET 10 can be prescribed alone or alongside other blood pressure medicines. It can be taken with or without food, but take it at the same time each day for steady control.

Healthy lifestyle changes form an important part of managing high blood pressure. These include regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing salt in your diet, and limiting alcohol intake as advised by your doctor.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have any kidney or liver problems, low blood pressure, or are taking other medicines. It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Your doctor may check your kidney function and potassium levels at regular intervals while you are taking this medicine.
