Frequently asked questions
What precautions should I take while taking Telmosar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet?
To ensure safe use, you should avoid taking potassium supplements or salt substitutes unless advised by your doctor. Additionally, limit or avoid alcohol consumption as it can lower blood pressure and cause side effects. Stay hydrated by drinking enough fluids during exercise and in hot weather. The medicine may cause dizziness, so it's essential to avoid driving, operating machinery, or engaging in activities that require concentration until you're aware of how the medication affects you. If you feel dizzy, lie down to prevent fainting, then sit for a few moments before standing up.
What happens if I take too much of Telmosar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet?
Taking an overdose may lead to symptoms such as low blood pressure, dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, vomiting, and rapid heartbeat. In severe cases, slow heartbeat, reduced kidney function (including kidney failure), and other complications have been reported. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately for medical attention.
Can I stop taking Telmosar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet once my blood pressure is controlled?
Remember that Telmosar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet does not cure hypertension (high blood pressure) but helps normalize it. Continue taking this medicine even if your blood pressure is under control. Stopping the medication may cause your blood pressure to rise again, and untreated high blood pressure increases the risk of heart attack or stroke. It's essential to understand that blood pressure-lowering medications are often taken for life.
What happens if I forget to take Telmosar 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. Avoid taking a double dose to make up for the missed one. If you frequently forget doses, consider setting reminders or consulting your doctor for additional guidance.
What will happen if I stop taking Telmosar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet without consulting my doctor?
Stopping this medication without talking to your doctor may cause your blood pressure to rise, increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke. If you experience side effects such as dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, etc., it's crucial to discuss these concerns with your doctor.
Is it safe to take Telmosar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet for a long time?

How long will I be taking Telmosar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet?
You may need to take this medication for an extended period or even lifelong, depending on your individual health needs. This medicine only keeps your blood pressure under control as long as you're taking it, so it's essential to continue your treatment and follow your doctor's guidance.
What if Telmosar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet doesn't seem to be working?
High blood pressure often has no symptoms, so this medication may not produce immediate noticeable effects. However, it's crucial to remember that the medicine is working in the background to reduce your risk of serious illnesses, even if you don't feel its direct impact.
Can Telmosar H 40mg/12.5mg Tablet affect my fertility or sex life?
This medication may very rarely lead to erectile dysfunction (inability to gain or maintain an erection). If you're concerned or notice changes, consult your doctor for guidance.
