CompositionTellzy-CH 40 Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults, particularly when a single medicine has not controlled it well enough. It is a combination medicine containing telmisartan 40mg, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and chlorthalidone, a thiazide-like diuretic (water tablet).
Telmisartan relaxes and widens the blood vessels, while chlorthalidone helps the kidneys remove extra salt and water. Together they lower blood pressure more effectively and reduce long-term strain on the heart, brain and kidneys. Take it once a day, preferably in the morning, with or without food, and continue even when you feel well.
Cutting down on salt, eating plenty of fruit and vegetables, staying active, keeping a healthy weight and limiting alcohol support blood pressure control.
Do not take this medicine if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, as it can harm an unborn baby; tell your doctor straight away if you become pregnant. Before starting, tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, gout, diabetes, low sodium or potassium, lupus or a sulfa medicine allergy, and about other medicines you take, especially lithium, potassium supplements and painkillers. Your doctor will check your kidney function and blood salts. Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding. Contact your doctor if you have extreme thirst, muscle cramps or weakness, dizziness or fainting, or an irregular heartbeat. Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
