About Teltas R 40mg/10mg Tablet

Teltas R 40mg/10mg Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure associated with high cholesterol levels. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery wall is high. High cholesterol, known as hyperlipidemia, occurs when there is an excess of unhealthy cholesterol in the blood.

Teltas R 40mg/10mg Tablet is a combination of Telmisartan and Rosuvastatin. Telmisartan works by blocking the action of a hormone called angiotensin II in the body, which causes the narrowing of blood vessels and leads to high blood pressure. Rosuvastatin works by blocking liver enzymes (HMG-CoA-reductase), causing the liver to produce less cholesterol. Thus, Teltas R 40mg/10mg Tablet lowers the levels of lipids known as cholesterol and triglycerides.

In some cases, you may experience an allergic reaction, low blood pressure, skin itching, and decreased platelet cell count (thrombocytopenia). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

How Teltas R 40mg/10mg Tablet Works

Teltas R 40mg/10mg Tablet is a combination of Telmisartan (angiotensin II receptor antagonists) and Rosuvastatin (HMG CoA reductase inhibitors). Telmisartan is a blood pressure-lowering medicine that works by blocking the action of a hormone called angiotensin II in the body, which causes the narrowing of blood vessels and leads to high blood pressure. Thereby, it widens and relaxes blood vessels. This lowers high blood pressure. Rosuvastatin is a lipid-lowering medicine that works by blocking liver enzymes (HMG-CoA-reductase), causing the liver to produce less cholesterol. So, it increases the uptake and breakdown of cholesterol already in the blood by the liver. Thus, Teltas R 40mg/10mg Tablet lowers the levels of lipids known as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood when lifestyle changes (like a low-fat diet) on their own have failed. Teltas R 40mg/10mg Tablet helps in reducing the bad cholesterol LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and increasing the good cholesterol HDL (High-density lipoprotein) by blocking our body's production of bad cholesterol. It also improves your body's ability to remove it from your blood.
