Venpres 40mg H Strip Of 10 Tablets
Description
Venpres 40 tablet is a combination medication containing telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide, used for managing high blood pressure (hypertension) when a single medication is insufficient. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that works by relaxing blood vessels. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps the body eliminate excess fluid and salt through increased urination. These actions, combined, lower blood pressure. Take Venpres 40 tablet exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider, and avoid missing doses or stopping the medication abruptly, as uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to serious health complications affecting the brain, heart, blood vessels, and kidneys.
In addition to taking Venpres 40 tablets, adopting certain lifestyle modifications is important. It's recommended to follow a diet that is low in fat and salt, maintain a healthy body weight, and engage in at least 30 minutes of daily exercise. You should also avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption. The medication can be taken with or without food, but it's best to take it at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level in the body. This helps in the long-term management of hypertension and reduces the risk of associated health issues.
Venpres 40 tablet should not be used if you are allergic to its components, have severe kidney or liver problems, or are pregnant, especially during the second and third trimesters, as it can harm the baby. It's also not recommended for diabetic patients taking aliskiren. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache, and dizziness. You should be cautious when driving or operating machinery due to the potential for dizziness. It is also important to avoid alcohol while on this medication, as it can cause a significant drop in blood pressure.
Before starting Venpres 40 tablet, a doctor should be informed about all existing medical conditions, including primary aldosteronism, heart conditions, glaucoma, or a history of skin cancer. Venpres 40 tablet is not recommended for individuals under 18 years of age. Any sudden fluid loss or symptoms of electrolyte imbalance should be reported to a healthcare provider immediately. Always consult a doctor before taking this medication.
