I was taking Natrilex Sr 1.5 earlier. Now with the BP being higher than 80 (between 90 and 95) for many evenings, I consulted a doctor who advised me to take Telma 40 with Natrilex. However, I have experienced certain dizziness after taking this medicine. Should I continue or take only Natrilex? I have no diabetes or lipid problems. ## The dizziness could be caused by either of the medications or by the combination of taking them both. this site is not medical professionals to advise you on your treatment regimen. Have you spoken to your doctor about these bouts of dizziness to see what they advise? The dizziness could also be cause by the blood pressure fluctuating itself. ## I changed from Telma H to Telma 40mg plain on the advice of my doctor as my diastolic BP was dropping unusually...

What is the difference between Telma 40 and Telma CT40? Effectivity wise, is Telma CT40 better than Telma 40? Which is more effective? What are the side effects of Telma 40 and Telma CT40? ## The active ingredients are different. Telma CT contains Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone, while Telma only contains Telmisartan.

Was prescribed S. Numlo 0.25 and Telma 40 when B.P was 150/100 in 2010 by DR. A. Stopped medication after 6 months as B.P. around 130/85. In June 2013 was again diagnosed with High B.P 160/100 to 150 /90 and prescibed tab Seloken XL 25 mg by Dr. B. Should i change to Seloken or should i continue with earlier tablets. ## Hi, Jack! How are you? The first thing you need to know is that hypertension is a continuous condition that you will always have to manage. It isn't cured once medications lower it, so you can't just stop taking them. You may hit a point where you can lower the dosages, or stop one medication, but if you stop all of them entirely, you will always run the risk of it becoming elevated again. And to which medication you should take, you should follow your doctor...

I had severe burning sensation on top of the head since mid November 2015. On 21/11/2015, my physician asked me to take Telsartan 40mg every morning as my BP was 178//100. Even after taking the tablets for one month, the burning in the head continued and on 23/12/2015, I visited a neuro physician who advised a CT scan of the head. The scan was normal but my BP was 180/114 and hence I was asked to meet the physician to bring down the BP immediately. The physician has prescribed Telma 40mg and Amlong, both to be taken twice a day. I am taking both these tablets twice a day since 23/12/2015. I checked the BP onn 4/1/2016 and 10/1/2016 and both times it was 120/80. However: 1. The burning on top of the head has not completely gone and i often feel this burning in the entire head sometimes. ...

my age is 33 years i was suffering from high blood pressure from 3 months i used tablets named corvadil and also telma 40 but my bp was high as usual then doctor adviced me losar h after using this tablet my bp is normal but i am feeling giddy. ## It's used for high bp n any kidney disease in adults ## It can cause some dizziness and drowsiness as side effects, according to the U.S. FDA. You may also experience nausea, increased urination and hypotension. Has there been any change? Usually, side effects go away, once your body adjusts to a new medication, but that could take 4 to 5 weeks.

My brother(age 40) is diabetic and has high BP. He was taking Telma 80,which makes the BP 100/65. Then doctor change the medicine to Telma 40. Now his BP is 140/90 and doctor prescribed him Telma H 40,which causes dizziness and low BP. What should he do? ## The Telma-H contains Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide, this latter medication is a diuretic that removes excess fluid from the body. It is likely that he is experiencing some dehydration from it and that is what is causing the low blood pressure and dizziness. He may need to slightly increase his fluid intake to compensate for this and keep his blood pressure from dropping too low. Learn more Telmisartan details here.
