Hello, Thanks for the query.
I am sure there must other brands of Telmisartan 40 mg with hydrochlorthiazide 12.5 mg available. You can buy those. Cutting the tablet does not give accurate dosage. There are q number of brands of Telmisartan in the market. Thanks.

It is not good to switch between 2 classes of drugs. Moreover any drug will take a few days to fully have its effect. A dose adjustment of the same drug is better if required. If the drugs have been recently started please keep a daily chart so dose can be modified accordingly. Do reach out with more details.

Yes you can take all these medications in place of telma. These all have the same compound. Telmisartan. Also you should do diet and exercise DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. It is an eating plan that is based on research studies sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). These studies showed that DASH lowers high blood pressure and improves levels of cholesterol. This reduces your risk of getting heart disease.

Hi, Lybrate user,
telma 40 contains "telmisartan" only but 'telma h 'includes "hydrochlorothiazide" with telmisartan, required to treat oedema of feet due to retention of fluid.
Moreover, you need to assess your physical condition, first to start telma h.
Tk, care.

Lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Telmisartan plus Amlodepine (TELMA AM) is a good and safe combination. The other tablet mentioned is Losartan + Hydrochlothiazide. That too is good. Doctor must have changed to newer drug for getting better control. But if she is not comfortable with that, she can take the earlier combination. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Since he is on two different tablets (Telmisartan + Hydrochlorthiazide & Metoprolol), it is possible that the medications are still not adequate. Some additional treatment is necessary for better control. Thanks.

Its better to continue tazloc. You can go for aggressive lifestyle modifications like walk for 45 minutes daily and less of oily things rice and sugar and more of vegetables and fruits for control of bp.
