Eritel-CH 40 Tablet Health Feed

Asked for male, 55 years old from Mumbai

Telmikind h 40/12.5 contains telmisartan & hydrochlorothiazide. Can it be split in half? Can I take it half daily? I am taking one tablet daily and my bp after taking full bp remains 82 / 110. Can I take 2 separate medicine for telmisartan & htcz together instead of combine telmikind h? Thanks.

You should not change bp tablet or reduce it without consulting your physician. It only 'controls' bp at certain level but does not cure permanently. Don't change bp dosage without consulting your physician.

Asked for female, 55 years old from Mangalore

I have been prescribed telmisartan for high blood pressure as 40 mg twice a day. So far I have been taking this medication for 4 days now. I have a speech coming up In a couple of days time. Can I take 10 mg Propranolol for stage fright (speech is in the afternoon at 1: 30 PM) and skip a dose of telmisartan in the morning or can I take both?

You cannot substitute telmisartan with propranolol and you need to take both drugs if needed . However I do not advise using propranolol for stage fright which you need control by m calming mind

Asked for female, 56 years old from Mumbai

I quote from a reputed medical website "in patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis or renal artery stenosis ,(arbs) like telmisartan may reduce renal perfusion to a critically low level. Hence I am worried whether I should continue having telmisartan 40 mg twice a day to keep my blood pressure under control, or think about some other treatment.

renal artery stenosis is a rare disease mostly of old people. Rarely in young women. Unless you have been diagnosed as renal artery stenosis dont have to worry about it.

Asked for female, 44 years old from Bangalore

Hi, I am a 42 y/o hypertension patient. I have been consuming eritel am tablets (telmisartan 40 mg and amlodipine 5 mg) with glyciphage 850 tablets (metformin) to control high blood pressure and blood glucose. However, I have purchased eritel 40 mg tablets (telmisartan) by mistake. Can I still use it without any side effects?

purchase amlodipine 5 separately. If you both write and amlodipine together you get same effect as eritel am

Asked for male, 27 years old from Bilaspur

Hi sir/mam. I am Rahul. Age-26 years. I take chlorthalidone 12.5 mg and my bp is under control. I was thinking about starting with cholecalciferol 400IU daily as a preventive measure for osteoporosis. My question is will vit D3 cause over calcium build up in serum as calcium buildup is a side effect of thiazide diuretics? I was also thinking about starting magnesium glycinate due to its high bioavailability at 100 mg dose. Shall I start with Mg?

Dear
You may not need all this.
Get your blood Vit D3 levels done. Then use supplementation.
Over dose is harmful

If she is more than 60 years age it is ok.
if younger increase to 40mg telmisartan.

I am a HYPER TENSION PATIENT. What can I do. My bp is 110 /180 mmhg. Telmisartan 40 mg. amlodipine 5 mg. atorvastatin 10 mg. OD dose par day.

Dr. Arunabha Das92%(90 ratings)

Take salt restricted diet. Fried salt restriction should be 1800 mg-2750 mg per day. Do not take added salt because most of your vegetables contain sodium already in it. Avoid mustard oil completely. Take sunflower or rice bran oil daily. Avoid red meat and big fishes completely.
