Description:
Telma-BS 2.5 Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It works by relaxing the blood vessels and improving the heart’s efficiency in pumping blood, which helps to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart-related complications such as heart attacks and strokes.
The medicine should be taken at the same time each day to maintain stable levels in the bloodstream. It’s important to continue taking it exactly as prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel fine, since high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms. Stopping the medication without medical advice can worsen your condition. In addition to taking this medicine, adopting a healthy lifestyle—such as regular physical activity, weight management, and a balanced, low-sodium diet—can further help in managing blood pressure effectively.
Common side effects of Telma-BS 2.5 Tablet include headache, cold or numb extremities, slow heart rate, low blood pressure, weakness, and elevated potassium levels in the blood. It is advisable to avoid potassium-rich foods and supplements unless directed by your doctor. The medicine may also cause dizziness, so it’s best to rise slowly from a sitting or lying position and avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before use. Additionally, let your doctor know about all other medications you are currently taking, especially those used to treat high blood pressure or heart problems, to avoid potential drug interactions. Routine monitoring of blood pressure and electrolyte levels may be required during treatment to ensure the medicine’s safety and effectiveness.
