Telmisartan 40mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg isa prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) when a single medication is not effective. It helps prevent serious complications like heart attacks and strokes. 
Key Information
  • Uses: This combination medication is used for the treatment of hypertension by relaxing blood vessels and removing excess water/salt from the body. This action reduces the strain on the heart and helps protect the kidneys.
  • Administration: It is typically taken orally once daily, with or without food, as directed by a doctor. It should be swallowed whole and not chewed or crushed. Since it contains a diuretic, it’s best to avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime to prevent frequent urination at night.
  • Important Precautions:
    • Do not stop taking the medication without consulting a doctor, as blood pressure may rise, increasing the risk of serious illness.
    • Avoid using potassium supplements or salt substitutes unless advised by a doctor, as this can cause electrolyte imbalance.
    • Alcohol consumption should be avoided as it can further lower blood pressure and increase the risk of side effects like dizziness.
    • This medicine is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential fetal risks.
    • Use caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine affects you, as it may cause dizziness.

  • Fatigue or unusual tiredness
  • Nausea and/or diarrhea
