Telma is considered good with patients with diabetes and that's why doctor suggested.
people just see mg of medicine and believe that telma 40 mg is too high dose than amlodopine 2.5mg.
which is very wrong

please don't follow random suggestions.

the blood pressure at this range can be managed without medicines also.
try salt restricted diet.
yoga and pranayama.

or take Homoeopathic treatment.

What's Kalyani's current Blood Pressure? If it's high she may take like that if she is unable to procure Telma H 80 (Telmesartan 80 mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg)
Taking Telma H 40 (Telmesartan 40 mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg) twice a day would mean she would be taking additional HCTZ 12.5 mg.
To remain at the same doses, it would be preferable to take Telma H 40 in the morning and Telma 40 (not - H) at night.

but confirmation from the consultant is required.

It would be better if you go back to the doctor as it is a good practice to followup with your family doctor ( where you are regularly checked - clinical examination is vital ). Please feel free to discuss your concerns and doubts with your doctor so that you can stay confident and take informed decisions. There is always a choice of second opinion if you are not convinced. Over all, take charge of your complete health ( mind and body ) by adapting health lifestyle and yoga. You can also revert ...more
