Yes, Telma 40 mg Tablet (Telmisartan) may sometimes decrease your serum sodium levels (hyponatremia), although this is an uncommon side effect. The risk is higher if you follow a very low-salt diet, have kidney problems, or take diuretics (water pills) or other medications that affect electrolytes. Low sodium can cause symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, or confusion. It is advisable to have your blood sodium checked regularly and discuss any unusual symptoms with your doctor.

I can help address your concern about Telma 40 and its potential effect on serum sodium levels.

Based on the information available, Telma 40 (Telmisartan) is not known to directly reduce serum sodium levels. However, it's important to consider potential side effects and interactions.

💊 Side Effects of Telma 40

  • Common side effects include loose stools, fatigue, nausea, indigestion, stomach pain, and coughing.
  • Uncommon side effects include visual disturbances and swelling under the skin.

⚠️ Precautions While Taking Telma 40

  • Avoid potassium supplements as they may lead to high potassium levels in the blood.
  • Avoid alcohol as it may increase the risk of low blood pressure.
  • Use with painkillers like aspirin and ibuprofen can increase the risk of kidney problems and reduce the efficiency of Telma 40.

It's always best to have your sodium levels checked via lab test to be sure. Please consult a doctor who can assess your specific situation and provide personalized guidance.
