Yes. You can use telma h instead. Both are same medications from different brands. Dosage should be cross checked while using.

My wife had uncontrolled urine problem, especially in winter. She is diabetic, mild hypertensive and on telmisartan (telday 40) and metformin. We visited our diabetes doctor and he suggested to do sonography. Sonography reported 'renal parenchyma the doctor then suggested urine test. The urine test showed high protein. The blood test showed uric acid in blood. The doctor suggested febustat 40 tabs. We went to nephrologist. He prescribed telmisartan 40 mg. He said go to urologist. We found that there is nothing like urologist but all are uro surgeons. We went to uro surgeon, who said go back to nephrologist. There is nothing from his side to explain or prescribe as he is surgeon. This is not surgical case. Ridiculous. I want to know why there is uric acid in the blood? Is it related to some kidney problem or anything else? I also need to know what is the remedy to permanently stop uric acid high levels? Febustat is symptomatic relief. This cannot be stopped as after stopping the blood report goes back to positive uric acid. Also let me know if there is any such speciality as urologist or uro surgeon himself is called urologist.

Urologist and uro surgeon are same.
High uric acid is not only due to kidney problem. Uric acid is produced as a byproduct of purine metabolism and is normally found in blood. It is excreted by kidneys. High uric acid in blood may be due to its overproduction or may due to inability of kidneys to excrete it.
Fabuxostat is a medicine prescribed commonly to reduce uric acid in blood.
Your description is not clear.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Bp 170/80 mm hg is showing very high systolic bp. This should be around 130 mm hg. It is clear that taking only telmisartan 40 mg, is not sufficient. There has to be another drug added for better control of the systolic pressure. So it is better to consult her physician and get a specific prescription. There are many options available. In this communication we are supposed to give only general guidelines, no prescriptions can be given. Thanks.

It would be wise to continue taking the current medicine and go for regular health check up along with frequent BP monitoring. Let your doctor decide whether you require any change in medication / or the dosage of the current medicine needs to be changed. Please focus on healthy diet while avoiding junk food beverages. If you exercise every day ( to maintain fitness and ideal weight ) and learn some relaxation techniques then over the long run you may require less dosage of BP medicine.

Low blood pressure is an abnormal condition where a person’s blood pressure (the pressure of the blood against the walls of the blood vessels during and after each beat of the heart) is much lower than usual, which can cause symptoms such as dizziness or vertigo.
Conditions that reduce the volume of blood, reduce cardiac output (the amount of blood pumped by the heart), and medications are frequent causes of low blood pressure.

The best s to contact your doctor who prescribed this medication and ask him for an alternative. Medications are prescribed on associated problems and health conditions and it is better to ask him directly.
