Have a query?

I have been taking Telma AM 1 tablet per day for high BP, now BP is 125/85, can I continue to take Telma AM?

Asked by Male, 46 · 7 days ago

Your blood pressure of 125/85 mmHg is near normal, likely due to the combined effect of Telma-AM and your current lifestyle habits. It is important to continue taking your medication exactly as prescribed and not to adjust or discontinue the dose without medical guidance. In addition to pharmacologic therapy, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced, low-salt diet, regular physical activity, healthy body weight, avoidance of smoking and excessive alcohol, and effective stress management, supports optimal blood pressure control and enhances the effectiveness of your treatment.

Your current blood pressure of 125/85 mmHg while taking Telma AM (Telmisartan 40 mg + Amlodipine 5 mg) suggests that your medication is effectively controlling your high blood pressure, and you can generally continue taking it as prescribed.

🩺 What This Means for You

  • Your blood pressure is within a controlled range, indicating the medication is working.
  • Continue taking Telma AM once daily, with or without food, as directed by your doctor.
  • Avoid sudden changes in posture to prevent dizziness, a known side effect.

⚠️ When to Contact Your Doctor

  • If you experience persistent side effects like swelling, dizziness, rash, or unusual symptoms.
  • If your blood pressure readings rise significantly or symptoms like chest pain or severe headache occur.
  • Before making any changes to your medication or if you plan to stop it.

🩺 Follow-Up Recommendations

  • Keep monitoring your blood pressure regularly.
  • Maintain scheduled appointments with your cardiologist or hypertension specialist.
  • Inform your doctor about any other medications or supplements you take, especially potassium supplements or alcohol use.

If you want, I can explain how Telmisartan and Amlodipine work together to control blood pressure. Meanwhile, please consult your cardiologist to confirm ongoing treatment and personalized advice.
