please specify that this medicine has any bad side effects on our health..i am taking this tablet telmikind h 80,i feel uncontrolled urge for urine and go for frequent urination which make me upset and uneasy? ## All medications carry the risk of side effects. This medication contains Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide and is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. The Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, which means it's intended to help reduce the amount of fluid in the body, so yes, it will normally cause frequent urination. If it is severe and causing you a problem, then please speak to your doctor, because you may need a dosage adjustment or a different medication. Is there anything else I can help with? ## is telma and telmikind same

Currently, Telmisartan 40 is marketed in india by several companies. As advised by doctor, I have been taking taking telsartan 40 tablets (1 tab./day) since 4 years. Recently, while purchasing medicines at the pharmacy, I came to know about another product called telsartan 40 aciv. Both compositions appear to be same. Cost of 30 'Telsartan 40' tablets (3 strips of 10 each) is roughly about Rs. 345, whereas the cost of a bottle containing 30 'Telsartan 40 Activ' tablets is Rs. 90 only. Both are the products of Dr. Reddy's Laboratory. I would like to know if both are same and should I buy Telsartan 40 activ bottle instead of Telsartan 40 tablets, since the later is seems to be cost effective. ## i am surprised to see no response at all to this query. please....can some...

I am advised by doctor to take 80 mg telmisartan + 5mg amlodipine for hypertension. But due to unavailability of 80 mg telmisartan I was advised to take 40mg telmisartan+ 5 mg amlodipine morning and 40 mg telmisartan at evening. After taking split dose of telmisartan 40 mg morning and evening I am feeling strange and anxious and unable to sleep smoothly following two three days. What may be the problem?
