Description

Telista-Amh – Strip of 15 Tablets

Telista-AMH is a medication used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and other cardiovascular conditions. It is a combination of two active ingredients:

1. Telmisartan: An Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB), which works by blocking the action of a hormone called angiotensin II that narrows blood vessels. By blocking this hormone, telmisartan helps to relax the blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing the workload on the heart.
2. Amlodipine: A Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB) that helps relax and widen blood vessels, improving blood flow. Amlodipine also reduces the heart’s oxygen demand, which helps in managing chest pain (angina) and high blood pressure.
3. Hydrochlorothiazide: A thiazide diuretic (water pill), which helps the body eliminate excess sodium and water, further helping to lower blood pressure. It also reduces swelling caused by fluid retention.

Key Information about Telista-AMH:

1. Indications:
   • Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): The primary use of Telista-AMH is to lower high blood pressure. This combined medication helps control blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.
   • Angina (Chest Pain): Amlodipine helps reduce chest pain (angina) by improving blood flow to the heart.
   • Fluid Retention: Hydrochlorothiazide also helps to reduce fluid retention, a common issue in people with heart failure or kidney disease.
2. Dosage:
   • The typical dosage of Telista-AMH is 1 tablet daily, but the exact dose depends on the patient’s condition, the severity of their hypertension, and how well they respond to the medication.
   • Telista-AMH generally comes in a combination of Telmisartan (40 mg or 80 mg), Amlodipine (5 mg), and Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg) per tablet.
   • It’s important to take the medication as prescribed, and typically, it should be taken at the same time each day.
3. Side Effects:
   • Common side effects:
     • Dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when standing up quickly
     • Swelling of the ankles or feet (due to amlodipine)
     • Fatigue
     • Headache
     • Increased urination (due to hydrochlorothiazide)
   • Serious side effects:
     • Low blood pressure (hypotension)
     • Electrolyte imbalances (e.g., low potassium or sodium levels)
     • Kidney issues (e.g., decreased urine output or swelling)
     • Allergic reactions, including swelling of the face or lips, and difficulty breathing
4. Precautions:
   • Kidney or Liver Issues: If you have kidney or liver problems, your doctor may adjust the dose or monitor you closely.
   • Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Telista-AMH should not be used during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, due to risks to the fetus. It is important to consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
   • Electrolyte Imbalances: Hydrochlorothiazide can cause low potassium or sodium levels, so your doctor may monitor your electrolytes, especially if you’re also using diuretics or other medications that affect electrolyte balance.
   • Other Medications: Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, especially those for blood pressure, heart conditions, or potassium supplements, as these can interact with Telista-AMH.
5. Warnings:
   • Blood Pressure Monitoring: Since Telista-AMH lowers blood pressure, your doctor may regularly monitor your blood pressure to ensure it is controlled and to avoid excessive drops in blood pressure.
   • Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol can increase the blood pressure-lowering effects and the risk of side effects like dizziness.
