This product appears to be manufactured by Dr. Reddy's in India, containing the active ingredients TELMISARTAN + HCT. The HCT might actually refer to HCTZ, but that is just what the manufacturer listed it as. This medication is used for treating high blood pressure. It should reduce your blood pressure within a couple of weeks. Because it does not cure high blood pressure (merely keeps it under control) you may need to take it regularly, even if you feel well. Please follow your physician's advice in this case.
Possible side effects may include: Diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, sinus inflammation, upper respiratory infection.
Telsartan-H can cause low blood pressure, especially if you are also taking another diuretic. This may make you feel light-headed or faint, especially during the first days of therapy. If these symptoms occur, contact your doctor. Your dosage may need to be adjusted. If you actually faint, stop taking Telsartan-H until you have talked to your doctor.
If you have congestive heart failure, liver or kidney disease, lupus, gout, or diabetes Telsartan-H should be used with caution. This drug may bring out hidden diabetes. If you are already taking insulin or oral diabetes drugs, your medication may have to be adjusted. The hydrochlorothiazide component of Telsartan-H also has a tendency to raise cholesterol levels.
If you have bronchial asthma or a history of allergies, you may be at greater risk for an allergic reaction to Telsartan-H.
The diuretic in Telsartan-H can cause a chemical imbalance in the body, especially if vomiting has depleted your fluids. Your doctor will perform blood tests periodically to check for this imbalance. Signs include dry mouth, thirst, weakness, sluggishness, drowsiness, restlessness, confusion, seizures, muscle pain or cramps, muscle fatigue, low blood pressure, decreased urination, rapid heartbeat, nausea, and vomiting. Call your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.
Diuretics also can cause your body to lose too much potassium (hypokalemia). Signs of an excessively low potassium level include muscle weakness and rapid or irregular heartbeat. To boost your potassium level, your doctor may recommend eating potassium-rich foods or taking a potassium supplement. If you think you need a supplement, check with your doctor; do not start taking one on your own. Likewise, check with your doctor before using a potassium-containing salt substitute.
Dehydration, excessive sweating, severe diarrhea, or vomiting could deplete your body's fluids and cause your blood pressure to become too low. Be careful when exercising and during hot weather.
* Ultimately you should consult with your doctor while taking this medication. This is meant to be a guideline only, NOT professional medical advice!
