Telma H 40/12.5 contains hydrochlorothiazide, which is related to sulfa medicines, so it may cause an allergic reaction in people with a sulfa allergy. If you are allergic to sulfa drugs, it is important to inform your doctor before taking this medicine. Your doctor can decide if it is safe for you or prescribe a suitable alternative. Do not start it on your own without medical advice.

You should not skip or delay doses of Telma-H 40 mg, even if your blood pressure seems normal, as this can reduce its effectiveness and affect heart health. Side effects differ by age and health, so consult your doctor for safe use and guidance.

Yes, you can ask your doctor or pharmacist about more reasonably priced generic versions of the identical combination of telmisartan 40 mg and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg. Because they employ the same active ingredients, options such RxNewtel H, Venpres-H, Telmikind-H, and Telgard H are frequently significantly less expensive than Telma H. Before switching brands, be sure the dosage and quality are in line with your prescription by seeing your doctor or pharmacist.

A sudden increase in heartbeat along with high blood pressure (140/96) should not be ignored, especially if you are already taking Telma-H. Sit down, rest, and avoid stress or caffeine for now. Do not change or stop your medicine on your own. It is best to consult your doctor soon to check your BP control and adjust treatment if needed.
