Telmikind 80 MG Tablet Health Feed

Hello asabdullah, since telma is a long acting drug, od dose (once a day) is preferred rather than twice a day. So 80 mg once is better than 40 mg twice. Usually first 40 mg once a day is started (provided renal function tests are normal) and if bp not controlled, then can escalate the dose to 80 mg once a day. Also concentrate on diet and lifestyle modifications.

140 not too bad. will she accept telma 80? It is not as strong as telma CT, but is more effective than 40.
or you could wait and watch till it rises to over 145

Dear Lybrateuser,
- Your BP is under control due to medication
- also you have to follow a strict diet & exercise regimen
- it is advisable to consult your treating physician before you make any changes in your medicine schedule as there are always chances of the BP shooting up again.

Upto 10 mmhg variation between two upper limbs is normal and physiological, your bp is fine, continue with same treatment.

Hello, antihypertensive medication usually continued life long and stoping them may cause relapse however if you stop them then do exercise and good diet control
and follow up with your nearest doctor.
Good luck.

Your father should not change any medicine without doctor's advice. It maybe harmful and can lead to other complications. But we have to look into the details of the problem. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and medication plan.

You can take the Telmikind tablet instead of Telmicine as the generic constituent in both is same I.e. Telmisartan. Thank you.

Yes valsartan can be used in the place of telmisartan.
It's available in strengths of 80 mg /160 mg.
I recommend 80 mg to start with.

Yes she can do so for few days only
If her blood pressure is under control continue with medicines
Lifestyle management will help her more
Reduce salt intake and take more potassium through citrus fruits like oranges and lemon
Reduce stress and anxiety related issues with the help of yoga and meditation
Reduce weight also by eating more of seasonal vegetables and fruits and walking is best exercise

Both can be taken together. She may require creatinine and potassium and sodium levels monitoring for this combination. Best wishes.
