If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is close to the time of your next dose, skip the missed one and take the next scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for the one you missed. If you frequently forget doses, consider setting an alarm to remind you.

What if Telmikind-H Tablet doesn't make me feel any better?
High blood pressure often does not have any symptoms, so you may not feel ill even if there is a change in your blood pressure. Therefore, this medicine may not make you feel 'better.'
