telma 20 or telma 40 - which tablet is stronger? ## The higher dosage, the 20 is a 20mg Telma tablet and the 40 is a 40mg Telma tablet. But the operative question is, which one has your doctor told you to take? Telmisartan is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Taking too much can be dangerous, as it could lower your blood pressure and heart rate too much. ## I am 70+ so is telma 20 or telma 40 mg tablet should be used regularly to maintain my blood pressure. ## My BP is 160/110 and pulse rate 110. Dr prescribed Telma H 40 mg but there is no improvement found and my pulse rate remains varying within the previous range. Please suggest what medicine I should take. ## Telma H 40mg BD

Please advise whethwr to stop both these drugs or not and also how her BP can come to normal. Please advise ## Hi, Bob! How is she feeling? 90/60 isn't dangerous, unless it's causing her symptoms, such as feeling really dizzy and drowsy. That's actually a very good blood pressure reading.

I have been on Sandoz Telmisartan 80 mg for many years and my pharmacy has switched me to Auro Telmisartan 80 mg.
