CompositionTelkonol H 40 Tablet is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension), particularly when a single medicine has not controlled it well enough. Keeping blood pressure under control helps reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems.
It contains telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, and hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic (water tablet) that helps the body remove excess fluid and salt. Take it as prescribed, and continue taking it even when you feel well. Do not stop it without medical advice.
Healthy lifestyle changes support treatment alongside this medicine. These include reducing salt in your diet, staying physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol. As this medicine increases urine output, taking it earlier in the day can help avoid disturbed sleep.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have any kidney or liver problems, gout, diabetes, or low blood pressure, or are taking other medicines. It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Your doctor may check your kidney function and blood salts while you are taking this medicine.
