About: TELMA 40

Marketed by : Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Ltd

Telma 40 Tablet is widely prescribed for the management of high blood pressure and certain cases of heart failure. By lowering elevated blood pressure, it reduces the risk of serious complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems. It works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. Telma 40 is also known to help preserve kidney function in diabetic patients with hypertension. It can be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time each day, to maintain consistent blood levels. Stopping the medicine suddenly may worsen your condition, so it should only be discontinued under medical advice. Alongside medication, lifestyle changes like regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing salt intake, avoiding smoking, and limiting alcohol are strongly recommended to enhance the effectiveness of treatment. Common side effects include diarrhea, back pain, sinus inflammation, dizziness, or skin ulcers. These effects are usually mild but should be reported if persistent. This medicine may cause drowsiness or dizziness, so driving should be avoided if such symptoms occur. Pregnant women should not use Telma 40, as it may harm the unborn baby, and breastfeeding mothers should only use it with caution under medical supervision. Patients with severe kidney or liver conditions should be monitored closely, and dosage adjustments may be required. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes is advised while on this treatment.
