TELMA 20 MG – 15 TABLETS

Description

TELMA 20 MG is a prescription medication primarily used for managing hypertension (high blood pressure). The active ingredient, Telmisartan, belongs to the angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) class, which works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. This reduction in blood pressure helps prevent conditions like heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. TELMA 20 MG is typically taken once daily, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare provider. Regular use as prescribed ensures effective blood pressure control and long-term cardiovascular health.

Usage Instructions:
Take one tablet of TELMA 20 MG daily, with or without food.
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Take it at the same time every day for the best results.
Continue taking the medication even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms.
Do not stop taking TELMA 20 MG without consulting your doctor.

Medicinal Advantages:
Blood Pressure Control: Helps lower high blood pressure, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.
Heart Protection: Reduces the strain on the heart, lowering the chances of heart attacks and strokes.
Kidney Health: Offers protection to the kidneys, especially in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Mechanism of Action:
Telmisartan in TELMA 20 MG blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten and narrow. By inhibiting this action, Telmisartan relaxes and widens blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. This mechanism reduces the workload on the heart and lowers the risk of complications from high blood pressure.

Off-Label Uses:
While TELMA 20 MG is primarily used for hypertension, it may also be prescribed to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes in certain high-risk patients, particularly those with type 2 diabetes and other cardiovascular conditions.

Expert Advice:
Consistency: Take TELMA 20 MG regularly to maintain stable blood pressure levels.
Lifestyle Changes: Combine with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management for optimal results.
Monitoring: Regularly monitor blood pressure to track the effectiveness of the medication.

Precautions:
Pregnancy: Avoid use during pregnancy as it may harm the unborn baby.
Kidney Function: Use with caution in patients with kidney impairment.
Electrolyte Imbalance: Monitor potassium levels, as Telmisartan can increase potassium levels in the blood.

Storage Conditions:
Store TELMA 20 MG at room temperature (15-30°C).
Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight.
Keep out of reach of children.
