Telma Ct 80/6.25 Tablet 15

Telma CT 80/6.25 Tablet 15 is used to manage high blood pressure in adults, particularly when a single blood pressure medicine such as telmisartan or chlorthalidone alone is not enough to control it.

Uses of Telma CT 80/6.25 Tablet 15 are:

• High Blood Pressure: Combines an angiotensin receptor blocker and a diuretic to lower blood pressure more effectively.
• Initial Combination Therapy: Used as first-line treatment in patients who need more than one blood pressure medicine from the start.

Here's how you should take Telma-CT 80/6.25 Tablet:

• Follow the dosage and timing instructions provided by your doctor.

• Do not change or exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.

• Consult your doctor before discontinuing the medication; do not stop taking it without their guidance.

• Adhere to the dietary recommendations given by your doctor.

Telma-CT 80/6.25 Tablet is taken orally.

Telma-CT 80/6.25 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Chlorthalidone (6.25 mg): This compound is a diuretic, which means it helps your kidneys get rid of extra salt and water from your body. As a result, it reduces fluid overload and decreases the volume of blood, thereby lowering blood pressure.

• Telmisartan (80 mg): This ingredient is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It blocks a hormone in your body called angiotensin II from binding to receptors on your blood vessels. This action prevents the hormone's effects that tend to narrow or constrict blood vessels. With telmisartan blocking these effects, your blood vessels can relax and widen, enabling blood to flow more easily and thus reducing your blood pressure.

Together, these two components provide a more effective lowering of blood pressure than either component could achieve alone.

• Keep Telma-CT 80/6.25 Tablet in a tightly closed container.

• The ideal storage temperature is between 20°C to 25°C.

• Protect the medicine from light and moisture.

• Ensure it's stored out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date before use.

• Since this medication is used to manage high blood pressure, reducing your salt intake could be beneficial. High-salt foods can increase blood pressure levels.

• Regular exercise can also help manage hypertension. However, avoid strenuous activities without consulting your doctor. A simple daily walk could be a good start!
