What Is The Difference Between Telma Ch 40

Hi sir. I have been using Telma...& the my doctor has changed it to Olmat H...appreciate if you can give the comparison between the two,does the change is necessary as I was comfortable with Telma. ## Hello, Sanjeev! How are you? Why did your doctor change it? Was your blood pressure still elevated? Olmat-H contains Olemsartan and Hydrochlorothiazide to try to help lower your blood pressure more. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and dehydration.

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?

I 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.

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 ...

What is the difference between Telma 40 and Telma CT40? Effectivity wise, is Telma CT40 better than Telma 40? Which is more effective?

The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, hypotension, and dehydration. Efficacy depends on which one works better for you. Which has your doctor instructed you to take? ## Can I take Telma CT 40 mg or Telma 40 mg at night? My doctor has advised me this. Does it lead to frequent urination at night?
