Telpres Ct 40/6.25 Tablet 15

Telpres CT 40/6.25 Tablet is used in adults for combined blood pressure control, bringing together an angiotensin receptor blocker and a mild diuretic when a single medicine is not enough on its own.

Uses of Telpres CT 40/6.25 Tablet are:

• High Blood Pressure: Combines telmisartan's blood vessel relaxing action with chlorthalidone's gentle fluid reduction for effective blood pressure control.
• Step-up Therapy: Used when a single blood pressure medicine alone is not sufficient.

• Swallow the tablet whole with a decent amount of water.

• Do not crush or chew the tablet.

• Always consult your doctor before making any changes to how you take this medicine.

Telpres CT 40/6.25 Tablet is taken orally.

Telpres CT 40/6.25 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Telmisartan (40 mg): This ingredient is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by selectively blocking angiotensin II, a substance that narrows your blood vessels, from binding to its receptors. This action results in the relaxation of your blood vessels and a reduction in your blood pressure. Telmisartan also blocks the release of a hormone called aldosterone, which further contributes to lowering your blood pressure.

• Chlorthalidone (6.25 mg): This is a thiazide-like diuretic, which means it helps your body get rid of extra salt and water. It does this by reducing the reabsorption of sodium in the distal convoluted tubule, a part of your kidneys. This action leads to increased excretion of sodium and water from your body, which in turn decreases blood volume and cardiac output, helping to lower your blood pressure.

• Keep your Telpres CT 40/6.25 Tablet in its original packaging.

• Store it at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep it out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

• Remember to check the expiry date and use the tablet before it expires.

• Maintain a low-salt diet as excessive salt can raise your blood pressure, making your medicine work harder. Try flavouring your food with herbs and spices instead of salt.

• Regular physical activity helps manage high blood pressure. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise such as brisk walking or cycling every week. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
