Medical Description

Affotel CT 40/12.5 tablet is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure. It contains telmisartan, which relaxes blood vessels by blocking a natural hormone that makes them tighten, and chlorthalidone, a diuretic that removes extra salt and water through urine. Together, these actions lower pressure inside the blood vessels and reduce the work required of the heart. Affotel CT 40/12.5 tablet is swallowed whole with water, may be taken with or without food, and should be used regularly as prescribed.

Quick Tips

Dosage

Overdose

Too much may cause severe dizziness, fainting, dehydration, low blood pressure or changes in body salts. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it is time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Telmisartan blocks the action of a natural hormone that narrows blood vessels and promotes salt retention, allowing the vessels to relax. Chlorthalidone increases the removal of extra salt and water through urine. The reduced fluid volume and relaxed vessels lower blood pressure.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Affotel CT tablet works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, other medicines for high blood pressure and water tablets may lower pressure too much; potassium products and potassium-containing salt substitutes may raise body potassium; lithium levels may rise; anti-inflammatory pain medicines may reduce the blood-pressure effect and worsen kidney function; steroid medicines may alter body salts; diabetes medicines may need adjustment; and medicines for gout may be affected by changes in uric acid.

Interactions with food items

Potassium-containing salt substitutes may alter body potassium and should be used only with medical advice. Maintain suitable fluid intake, but follow medical advice if you have a fluid restriction.
