What are the possible causes of persistent bilateral ankle edema and nocturnal itching in a patient taking Telma 40H (telmisartan/hydrochlorothiazide)?

Asked by Male, 52 · 18 days ago

While Telma 40H (telmisartan/hydrochlorothiazide) is excellent for blood pressure, the swelling can sometimes be a mild side effect of telmisartan or related to circulation. The itching might stem from skin dryness caused by the diuretic component, hydrochlorothiazide, or a mild sensitivity. It is highly recommended to have your doctor evaluate your kidney function, circulation, and electrolytes to find the exact cause. Meanwhile, elevating your legs while resting and using a gentle moisturizer at night can provide some comfort. Please consult your doctor to safely discuss these symptoms.
