Telmisartan 40mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), which helps reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems. It is a combination of an angiotensin II receptor blocker (telmisartan) and a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide).
Key Information
- Administration: It is typically taken orally once daily, with or without food. It’s best to avoid taking it within four hours of going to bed due to the increased urination caused by the diuretic component.
- Mechanism of Action: Telmisartan relaxes blood vessels by blocking the hormone angiotensin II, which lowers blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide (a “water pill”) helps the body remove excess water and electrolytes through urine, further lowering blood pressure.
- Important Safety Advice:
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: This medication is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential fetal/infant risks.
- Alcohol: Avoid alcohol consumption as it can excessively lower blood pressure and cause dizziness.
- Potassium: Do not use potassium supplements or salt substitutes unless your doctor advises you to, as this medication can affect potassium levels.
- Driving: It may cause dizziness, so use caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
- Do not stop: Continue taking this medicine as prescribed, even if you feel well. Abruptly stopping it can cause your blood pressure to rise, increasing the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
