Telsartan Active

Updated

my mother has recently been detected with medium BP 160/90, thought she never had any history of BP, my doctor said that though no symptoms are there but the side effect of BP would be more, hence he recommended telsartan 40 mg active, i am going for one more testing and later would start with medicine, any body please put some more light on this

hi kiran here again from Bangalore, Karnataka State, India. Though i have started the tablet but i am really at confusion whether my mom should take this tablet for BP 160/90 which has been on run for more than two years. Though, she is not exhibiting any symptoms, doctor said it is a silent killer along with cholesterol. My mom's cholesterol is in borderline and the doc has prescribed atorvastin 40 mg which i am giving with telsartan. Also, her sugar in borderline that is 120 fasting and 147 post prandial. I am really worried.

The 160/90 blood pressure is high and does need to be treated, her doctor would actually be remiss to leave it alone and not try to do anything to bring it down. The point is to bring it down and prevent it from going up further to put her in danger.

The active ingredient in Telsartan is Telmisartan, which is an ARB and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain.

The Atorvastatin is also important, since she needs to lower that cholesterol level. Its side effects may include; nausea, dizziness, headache and joint/muscle aches.

Are there any other questions or comments?
