Telma 40 Salt

Hi, I am a 62 year old male and have been diagnosed with essential hypertension (180/70). My physician has advised telma h in the morning and met xl 25 mg in the afternoon. For how long should I take the medicine?

With regard as I am using telma am 40 per day one but my blood pressure is 125/95 I done all examination of my blood all was in normal range my question is why 95 rang not getting down.

The NIH lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension.
