Telma 40mg Causing Dizziness And Low Bp?

Updated

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.

Learn more Hydrochlorothiazide details here.

He does need to consult his doctor first though, because there are some health conditions where adding more fluid may be dangerous, so he needs to check on that before doing so.

Are there any other questions?
