What Is Telma H Used For

My doctor has prescribed Telma H for maintaining blood pressure. It was changed to Telma 40 but did not give a full explanation why. On the net I have seen there is Telma AM as well. I am diabetic and with medication its under control. My confusion is regarding the various Telma's ## Hello, Kuldip! How are you? There are different ingredients in each one. Telma only contains the active ingredient Telmisartan, Telma H contains Telmisartan and Hydrocholorothiazide, while Telma AM contains Telmisartan and Amlodipine, all of them are used to treat high blood pressure and some cardiac conditions. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects for such combinations as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. They are sometimes also prescribed for d...

My bp levels r in the range 120-140 n 75-90... N pulse is between 90 - 110 ## Seloken contains the active ingredient Metoprolol, and Telma contains Telmisartan, so they are different medications, although both as used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Which one has been prescribed for you? ## Mamta is suffering from high blood pressure and the doctor has prescribed both the tablet Slovenia 50 &Telma 40 ## Dr prescribed me both Telma 40 and saloken x l50.

Telmisartan is the active ingredient in Telma, which is used to help manage high blood pressure. Some of the most common side effects include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and headache.

Hello Doctor, My son 31 is having his serum creatinine at 1.50. Doctor has advised him to take Telma H. He is already taking homeopathy medicine from a well qualified doctor. Is it ok to take telma h along with homeopathy medicine as I am reading not an encouraging use of this drug. Jaspaul Sandhu Father ## Hi, Jas! Unfortunately, without knowing more specific details on the homeopathic remedy he's taking, I can't really provide you with any information. I'd need to know the actual ingredients to check for any possible problems or interactions. The Telmisartan in the Telma H is commonly given to help protect the kidneys and support their function, especially in people that are diabetic or who have other conditions that may predispose them to kidney damage.

my age is 33 years i was suffering from high blood pressure from 3 months i used tablets named corvadil and also telma 40 but my bp was high as usual then doctor adviced me losar h after using this tablet my bp is normal but i am feeling giddy. ## It's used for high bp n any kidney disease in adults ## It can cause some dizziness and drowsiness as side effects, according to the U.S. FDA. You may also experience nausea, increased urination and hypotension. Has there been any change? Usually, side effects go away, once your body adjusts to a new medication, but that could take 4 to 5 weeks.

Does it have any dryness effect on the nose/sinuses? ## Telm-H contains the active ingredients Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide and is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and other cardiac conditions. The Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, that helps remove excess fluid from the body, so yes, it may cause some dryness in various areas. You may also experience other side effects, such as: dizziness, headache and dehydration. Learn more: Are there any other comments or questions? ## I was advised to take Telma 80 H for my blood pressure for over a year.

What is the difference of Telma- H and Telma-40. Dr. prescribed my father Telma-H but by mistake he is taking Telma-40 instead of Telma-H and he is feeling no problem since one month. Can he continue the same. He is 75 years of age. ## Telma-H contains the active ingredients Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. The Telma just contains the Telmisartan. As to which he should use, he should consult his doctor. They Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, so it removes excess fluid from the body and his doctor may feel there is a need for it. Has he contacted his doctor, yet? ## Use of Telma-H may increase blood sugar level?

I am taking Listril-SM tab one in the morning and Tenoric-50 one at night. I have now been advised to take Telma-AM-H-80 one per day. I had previously tried Telma-40 and subsequently Telma-H as per Doctor's advise but it failed to maintain my blood pressure. Should the new medicine will be of any use ? ## There are differences in these medications. The original Telma only contains the active ingredient Telmisartan, the Telma-H contained that, with the addition of Hydrochlorothiazide. The Telma-AM-H combines both of those ingredients, with Amlodipine, so yes, it could give you better blood pressure control, but the only way to know is to follow your doctors instructions and try it. Are there any other comments or questions? ## i m,42, taking Telma H 80 mg for the last one month to co...

The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and dehydration.

I have been using telma H 40/120 for almost two months. My pulse goes high, I get dry mouth, I feel weakness and breathlessness,. Could all that be side effect of Telma h that I am taking? ## Hi, Sadiq! Sorry about the problems you're having. What have your blood pressure levels been, since you've been taking it? And another question is, how much fluid are you drinking each day? The H in this stands for Hydrochlorothiazide and it's a diuretic that's used to remove excess fluid from the body. However, if it's removing too much, because you aren't taking in enough, it can lead to dehydration and that may be what's causing your symptoms. When on a medication like this, you should be taking in at least 64ounces of fluid daily, not including anything alcoholic or ...
