1. Indications
    – Hypertension: TELPAX CM 40/50 TABLET is primarily prescribed to treat high blood pressure in adults. Lowering high blood pressure reduces the strain on the heart and arteries, reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems.
    – Heart Failure: This medication may also be prescribed to manage heart failure, as it can help lower blood pressure and reduce the load on the heart.
    – Prevention of Stroke: In individuals with high blood pressure, TELPAX CM 40/50 TABLET may help prevent strokes by managing blood pressure levels.

2. Benefits
The use of TELPAX CM 40/50 TABLET provides several important benefits:

    – Blood Pressure Control: Telmisartan works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, which narrows blood vessels, thus lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow.
    – Diuretic Action: Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic that reduces excess fluid in the body, helping lower blood pressure further.
    – Cardiovascular Protection: By managing blood pressure and reducing fluid retention, it reduces the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes.

3. Dosage and Administration
Follow the recommended dosage to ensure the best results:

    – Recommended Dosage: Typically, the dose for adults starts at 1 tablet once daily. The dose may vary depending on the individual’s medical condition.
    – Administration: Take TELPAX CM 40/50 TABLET with or without food, and swallow it whole with water.
    – Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for the next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose.

4. Mechanism of Action
TELPAX CM 40/50 TABLET works by combining two distinct actions:

    – Telmisartan: It blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure. This leads to vasodilation, or the widening of blood vessels, which helps lower blood pressure.
    – Chlorthalidone: This diuretic helps remove excess sodium and water from the body, decreasing blood volume and further reducing blood pressure.

Common side effects of TELPAX CM 40/50 TABLET may include:

    – Dizziness or Light-headedness: Especially when standing up quickly due to the blood pressure-lowering effect.
    – Electrolyte Imbalance: Some individuals may experience low potassium levels, which can cause muscle weakness and cramps.
    – Kidney Dysfunction: Rarely, this medication may affect kidney function, so kidney function should be monitored during treatment.

6. Precautions

    – Kidney Disease: Inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney problems, as this medication may require dosage adjustments or monitoring.
