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 male, 72 years old from Kolkata

I take telvas3d (aristo) for hypertension. Telvas 3d is a fixed dose combination of telmisartan (40 mg) plus amlodipine (5 mg) plus hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg. I am 72 plus and now due to covid I am taking medicines online from pharmacy. Recently pharmacy doctor called me and intimated that in stead of telvas 3d they will supply telista ch of lupin. I asked him to confirm whether telista ch contains all the three ingredients and the doctor confirmed. But when the medicine arrived it is seen that telista ch contains only telmisartan, 40 plus chlorthalidone 12.5.there is no amlopidine ie calcium channel component. Both the medicines are anti hypertension medicines but they are not identical and equivalent .function of amlopidine will not be there in telista ch please confirm.

Sir
since you are on tripple combination and telista ch already purchased separate 5 mg amlodepine can be taken along with telistach. Since contain diuretic with telmisartan can be taken in the morning along with amlodepine. This three medicine include different class given in uncontrolled hypertension. Since you are 72 years ocasional andsodium and potassium and may be tested. This combination are relatively safe drugs.
