Description:
Sartel H 40 Tablet is a combination medicine used to effectively manage high blood pressure (hypertension), particularly in cases where a single medication is not sufficient. By lowering blood pressure, it significantly reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular complications. This tablet combines Telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker, with Hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic (water pill), to provide dual-action blood pressure control.
You can take Sartel H 40 Tablet with or without food, ideally at the same time every day to maintain consistent blood pressure levels. It is important to continue taking it regularly even if you feel well, as hypertension often has no noticeable symptoms. Because this medicine contains a diuretic, it increases urine output to help lower blood pressure—so it’s advisable to avoid taking it late in the day to prevent nighttime urination.
Common side effects may include dizziness, tiredness, nausea, shortness of breath, or changes in heartbeat. While frequent urination is not a side effect per se, it is a desired action of the medicine. If any side effects persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor. Adjusting the dose or switching medications may help manage them better.
Before starting Sartel H 40, inform your doctor if you have any kidney, liver, or heart issues, diabetes, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine, as it may enhance side effects such as dizziness or lightheadedness. Also, do not use potassium supplements or salt substitutes without your doctor’s approval, as this could affect your electrolyte balance.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions and read the medication leaflet for full details.
