Consuming the Telma 40 would it reduce the level of albumin release. ## Telma contains the active ingredient Telmisartan, this is an ARB that is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure.

Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and dizziness.

My doc . Prescribed Telma am after the By Pass to control BP but the BP was around 165/85. So he changed to Telma 40. The BP is still 170/ 85. Now he has again advised me to shift to Telma am. Which is better of the two. Kindly advises.K.Mehta ## You should follow your doctor's instructions regarding which medication to take. Telma AM contains Telmisartan with Amloidpine, while Telma 40 only contains Telmisartan. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. What are your current readings? Has there been any change?
