CompositionTELMAHEAL 20 TABLET 15 is a medicine used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults and to reduce the risk of heart and blood vessel complications. Keeping blood pressure under control helps lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, and long-term heart disease.
It contains telmisartan and belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily and the heart does not have to work as hard. It is usually taken at the same time each day. Continue taking it even if you feel well, and do not stop it without medical advice.
Healthy lifestyle changes support blood pressure control alongside this medicine. These include reducing salt in your diet, staying physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any kidney or liver problems or other medicines you take, and whether you are pregnant or planning pregnancy, as it is not suitable in pregnancy. Your doctor may check your kidney function and potassium levels from time to time, and you should attend regular blood pressure checks.
