Telvas H 40/12.5 Tablet is a combination medication used to manage high blood pressure, particularly when a single medicine is not sufficient to control it. By effectively lowering blood pressure, it reduces the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. The tablet contains two active ingredients, including a diuretic (water pill), which helps the body eliminate excess fluid through increased urination—an important part of how it lowers blood pressure.
You can take Telvas H 40/12.5 with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your system. Because the medicine increases urination, it’s advisable to avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime to prevent sleep disturbances. It’s important to continue using the medicine regularly, even if you feel fine, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Stopping the treatment abruptly may increase your risk of complications.
The most common side effect of Telvas H 40/12.5 is dizziness. Other potential side effects include tiredness, nausea, shortness of breath, and irregular heartbeat. While frequent urination is often mistaken as a side effect, it is actually a key function of the medication. Most side effects are mild and temporary, but if they persist or cause concern, speak to your doctor. Your doctor may adjust the dosage or consider an alternative treatment if needed. Always read the accompanying leaflet for detailed information.
Avoid using potassium supplements or salt substitutes unless advised by your doctor, as these may interfere with the medication. Telvas H 40/12.5 is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Inform your doctor if you have existing kidney or liver conditions, heart problems, or diabetes. Also, be cautious with alcohol intake, as it can amplify the blood pressure-lowering effects and potentially lead to side effects.
