Description

Telkonol H Tablet is a combination medicine used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). It generally contains Telmisartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) and Hydrochlorothiazide (a thiazide diuretic). Together, they work to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications like heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.

• Telmisartan helps relax blood vessels by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to tighten.

• Hydrochlorothiazide helps the body eliminate excess salt and water through urine, lowering blood pressure and reducing fluid retention.

Uses

• Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension)

• Prevention of cardiovascular complications such as heart attack and stroke

• Management of edema (fluid retention) in hypertensive patients

• Protection of kidney function in patients with diabetes and high blood pressure

Side Effects

• Common: Dizziness, headache, weakness, tiredness, increased urination, dry mouth

• Occasional: Nausea, stomach upset, muscle cramps, low blood pressure (hypotension)

• Rare but serious: Electrolyte imbalance, kidney function changes, allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)

Precautions: Regular blood pressure and kidney function monitoring is advised. Avoid alcohol and sudden position changes to prevent dizziness. Use under medical supervision only.
