Frequently asked questions
What precautions should I take while taking T Sar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet?
To ensure your safety, it's essential to avoid potassium supplements or salt substitutes unless advised by your doctor. Also, limit alcohol consumption as excessive drinking can further lower your blood pressure and cause side effects. Stay hydrated by drinking enough fluids during exercise and in hot weather. Be cautious when performing tasks that require concentration, such as driving or operating machinery, as the medicine may make you dizzy. If you feel dizzy, lie down to prevent fainting. Then sit for a few moments before standing to prevent feeling dizzy again.
What happens if I take too much of T Sar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet?
If you accidentally take too much of the medication, you may experience symptoms such as low blood pressure, dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, vomiting, and rapid heartbeat. In some cases, slow heartbeat or reduced kidney function, including kidney failure (e.g., reduced urine output), have been reported. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately and seek medical help.
Can I stop taking T Sar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet when my blood pressure is under control?
Remember that this medication does not cure hypertension (high blood pressure) but helps normalize it. You should continue taking the medicine even if your blood pressure is controlled. Stopping treatment could cause your blood pressure to rise again, increasing your risk of heart attack or stroke.
What happens if I forget to take T Sar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's close to the time of your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the one you missed.
What will happen if I stop taking T Sar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet?
You should not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor first. Stopping treatment may cause your blood pressure to rise, increasing your risk of heart attack or stroke. If you experience side effects such as dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, etc., talk to your doctor.
Is it safe to take T Sar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet for a long time?
This medication is generally safe to take for a long time when used as directed by your doctor. It's essential to follow your doctor's advice and instructions.
How long will I be taking T Sar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet for?
You may need to continue taking this medication for a long-term or even lifelong, as it only keeps your blood pressure under control while you're on treatment. It's advised to continue your medication and follow your doctor's guidance.
What if T Sar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet doesn't make me feel any better?
High blood pressure often has no symptoms, so this medicine may not make you feel 'better.' However, it's still working in the background to reduce your risk of serious illness, and you should continue taking it as prescribed.
Can T Sar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet affect my fertility or sex life?
This medication may very rarely cause erectile dysfunction (inability to gain or maintain an erection). Consult your doctor if you're concerned or notice any changes. Untreated hypertension itself can also lead to erectile dysfunction, making regular treatment and blood pressure monitoring essential.

To get the most benefit from this medication and maintain your overall health, consider these lifestyle changes: reduce excess salt in your diet, manage stress through yoga, meditation, or hobbies, ensure a good night's sleep, stop smoking and alcohol consumption, and eat a balanced diet with whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables, and fat-free products. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance.
