Managing the Side Effects:

Dyspepsia: Taking this medicine after light meals might help lessen indigestion.

Telma-CT 40/12.5 Tablet contains two active components:

Telmisartan (40 mg): It is a angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by selectively blocking angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors in your body. This action stops angiotensin II from constricting your blood vessels and secreting aldosterone, which in turn helps widen your arteries (vasodilation) and decreases blood volume, effectively lowering your blood pressure.
Chlorthalidone (12.5 mg): It is a thiazide-like diuretic, chlorthalidone promotes increased excretion of salt and water through your kidneys, leading to a reduction in blood volume and a drop in blood pressure. It also has some direct vasodilating activity which contributes to its blood pressure-lowering effect.

Pregnancy
