Question 1

I have been taking Telma H for high blood pressure for the last 3 years and Corbis 2.5 for heartbeat control for the last 7 months, and I have lost 7 to 8 kg of weight in the last year. Could this be due to the medicines, or is there another reason?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

Telma H and Corbis are used to control blood pressure and heart rate and are not commonly known to cause significant weight loss. Unintentional weight loss may be related to reduced appetite, lifestyle changes, stress, or another medical condition. It is important not to ignore ongoing weight loss without a clear reason. Consult your doctor for proper evaluation and monitoring to identify the cause.

Question 2

I'm allergic to sulfa medicines. Is Telma H 40/12.5 safe for heart disease consultation?

Dr G Reddy · Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Is it okay to take breaks of 2-3 days between doses of Telma-H 40 mg if I monitor my blood pressure and it remains normal? Will there be significant side effects from this medication at my age?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

I am using Telma H 40mg for blood pressure control. Can you suggest a more affordable alternative?

Dr Y Thulasi · Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

My heartbeat suddenly increased, and my blood pressure is high at 96/140. I'm taking Telma H.

Dr G Reddy · Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

I have high blood pressure around 201/119 with headaches and stomach pain. Can you help urgently? I have been given Telma H.

Dr G Reddy · Accepted Answer

A BP of 201/119 is dangerously high, and the headaches and stomach pain could be warning signs. Telma-H will help lower the pressure, but this level needs immediate medical attention. Consult your doctor for proper treatment.
