Telkum 40 Tablet 10

Telkum 40 Tablet 10 may interact with the following medications:

• Heart medications: Medicines like digoxin, if taken alongside an Telkum 40 Tablet 10, could result in elevated levels of digoxin in your bloodstream.
• Mood stabilizers such as lithium: Combining the medicine with lithium can cause an increase in lithium concentration, leading to adverse effects.
• Anticoagulants:
• When taken together, the medicine may alter the blood-thinning effects of anticoagulants like warfarin.
• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen may reduce the medicine's blood-pressure-lowering effects. These medicines can also increase the risk of kidney damage.

Telkum 40 Tablet 10 may interact with certain foods, such as:

• Potassium-rich foods: Food items like bananas, nuts, and sweet potatoes, when taken with the medicine, might lead to an increase in blood potassium levels, resulting in hyperkalaemia.
• Sodium-rich foods: Foods rich in sodium, like processed cheese and seafood, might reduce the effectiveness of the medicine.

• Liver disease: Due to potential interactions, patients with impaired liver function, cholestasis, or biliary obstruction might need lower doses of this medication.

Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate daily dose of Telkum 40 Tablet 10, depending on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. For further details regarding dosage, read the package insert.

If you accidentally take more than the prescribed dose, you may experience symptoms such as diarrhoea, dizziness, or headache. If these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.
