Telma 40 MG Description

Telma 40 tablet is a blood pressure-lowering medicine used to treat high blood pressure. Its active ingredient is telmisartan, which helps reduce the chances of heart disease, stroke, or death in high-risk patients.

Telmikind 40, Tazloc 40, Telvas 40, Telista 40, and Eritel 40 are some other medicines that contain telmisartan as their main ingredient. Telma 40 works by blocking the action of certain natural substances responsible for narrowing blood vessels. This helps reduce pressure inside blood vessels and allows the heart to pump efficiently. Your doctor will decide the dose, frequency, and duration of the treatment; take this medicine regularly.

High blood pressure is a critical health condition. If not treated well, it can lead to other health-related complications and affect other parts of the body, such as the brain, heart, blood vessels, and kidneys. Thus, it is recommended that you incorporate certain lifestyle modifications along with taking Telma 40 on time.

A few of these changes include eating a diet low in fat and salt, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising for 30 minutes every day, taking medications as prescribed, not smoking and limiting alcohol consumption.
