Description
Telkonol 40 tablet is a medication used for the management of high blood pressure and heart failure. Its active ingredient, telmisartan, works by blocking the effects of a hormone that narrows blood vessels. Telkonol 40 tablets help relax and widen blood vessels, which in turn lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow. This action is crucial in reducing the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. It can also be beneficial in protecting kidney function, particularly in individuals with diabetes.
It should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional, typically once a day, with or without food. It is best to take it at the same time daily. Even if you begin to feel better and your blood pressure seems to be under control, do not stop the medication without consulting your doctor, as discontinuing it can lead to a worsening of your condition. If you experience any side effects, inform your doctor so they can assess whether a dosage adjustment or a different medication is necessary.
Before starting Telkonol 40 tablet, it is important to disclose your full medical history to your doctor, including any pre-existing kidney or liver conditions. The medication is contraindicated for pregnant women in their second and third trimesters, as it can cause harm to the baby. Breastfeeding women should also consult a healthcare professional for a safer alternative. Regular monitoring of kidney function, blood pressure, and potassium levels may be required throughout the treatment period.
Telkonol 40 tablet can interact with other medications, including those for heart conditions, diabetes, and other high blood pressure treatments. It's crucial to inform your doctor about all other medicines, supplements, or herbal products you are taking to prevent adverse interactions. Patients should also be mindful of certain dietary restrictions, such as limiting high-potassium foods and reducing salt intake, to minimise risks.
