Description
Indications
This medication is prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), aiming to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. It is a combination product that contains two active ingredients: telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide.
Telmisartan belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). Its mechanism of action involves relaxing blood vessels, facilitating smoother blood flow. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, commonly referred to as a “water pill.” It promotes increased urine production, particularly during the initial stages of medication use.
Hydrochlorothiazide also helps relax blood vessels, further enhancing blood flow.
Uses and Dosage
Take this medication orally, with or without food, as instructed by your doctor, typically once daily. It is recommended to avoid taking the medication within 4 hours of bedtime to minimize the need to urinate during the night.
The dosage is determined based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Use this medication regularly to derive the maximum benefit. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day.
Continue taking the medication even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often doesn’t manifest noticeable symptoms. It may take up to 4 weeks before experiencing the full benefits of this drug.
If you are also taking certain medications to lower cholesterol (such as bile acid-binding resins like cholestyramine or colestipol), take this product at least 4 hours before or at least 4 to 6 hours after these cholesterol-lowering medications.
Inform your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens, such as if your blood pressure readings remain high or increase.

- This medication may cause dizziness. Avoid activities requiring alertness until you can do them safely. Limit alcoholic beverages, and if you are using marijuana, discuss it with your doctor.
- Severe sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting may lead to dehydration and lightheadedness. Inform your doctor if you experience severe diarrhea or vomiting. To prevent dehydration, drink plenty of fluids unless otherwise advised by your doctor.
- For individuals with diabetes, this medication may affect blood sugar levels. Monitor your blood sugar regularly and report any symptoms of high blood sugar, such as increased thirst or urination, to your doctor. Adjustments to your diabetes medication, exercise program, or diet may be necessary.
- The medication may affect potassium levels. Before using potassium supplements or salt substitutes containing potassium, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
- This medication may increase sensitivity to the sun and the risk of skin cancer, especially with prolonged use. Limit sun exposure, avoid tanning booths and sunlamps, and use sunscreen and protective clothing when outdoors. Inform your doctor if you experience sunburn, skin blisters/redness, or notice new or changed moles/skin lesions.
- Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, particularly dizziness and changes in urine output (indicative of kidney problems).
- Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as becoming pregnant while using telmisartan/hydrochlorothiazide is not advisable. Telmisartan may harm an unborn baby. If pregnancy occurs, discuss the risks and benefits of this medication with your doctor.
