Difference Between Telsartan 40 And Telma H 40
UpdatedI am 58 years of age. Just 10 days back I started Thelma H 40 mg for BP 160/90 as advised by my doctor. After using it for 8 days I got dizziness, frequent urination and a light strain on my right side. So I consulted my doctor and am now taking Telsartan 40. My BP is now 120/80. How long should I use 40 mgs for? Can I reduce to 20 mgs? Please advise. Also which is better, Thelma H 20 mg or Telsartan 20 mg?

You should take the medication and dosage that your doctor has told you take, unless they direct you to make changes.
As reported by the NIH, dizziness and frequent urination can both be normal side effects, you may also experience nausea, headache, and hypotension.
There really is no better medication, it depends on what works for you and what is safest for you to take.
Is there anything else I can help with?
I had been prescribed telma-h 40 for high blood pressure and by chance I got telma 40 instead, so I took that but both were found to be effective in controlling my bp. Which one is a better option to continue with? Is it better to take these early in the morning or at night? I have been taking my dose in the morning.
Re: rachna (# 2)
I have been taking telma h for two years and it's worked with me. Even in an emergency I took telma as there was no other stock at the moment. But that too was ok.
At present I am using Telmisartan 40 Mg with Amlodphine 5 Mg based on my doctor's advice. However, during the next check up with another doctor, he prescribed Telma 40.
Is there any difference between above two drugs? I'd like to know whether I can shift to Telma 40 after discontinuing the present drug? Please advise.
