Swipha Telmisartan 80mg Tablet x30

Swipha Telmisartan 80mg is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used primarily for treating hypertension. It offers effective blood pressure control with a once-daily dosing regimen.

Uses

Swipha Telmisartan is primarily used for:

• Treatment of essential hypertension in adults
• Cardiovascular prevention in patients with established atherothrombotic disease
• Reduction of cardiovascular morbidity in patients with heart failure

Benefits

• Effective blood pressure control
• Once-daily dosing for improved adherence
• May provide cardiovascular protection beyond blood pressure lowering
• Generally well-tolerated with fewer side effects than some other antihypertensives
• Can be used alone or in combination with other blood pressure medications
• Potential benefits in diabetic patients with kidney disease

How It Works

Telmisartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, on its receptor. This leads to vasodilation and decreased blood pressure, as well as reduced aldosterone secretion.

Dosage

The typical starting dose is 40mg once daily, which may be increased to 80mg if necessary for optimal blood pressure control. Take at the same time each day. Always follow your healthcare provider’s specific dosing instructions.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include dizziness, back pain, and sinusitis. Less common effects can include fatigue, diarrhea, and upper respiratory tract infections. Rare but serious side effects may include severe hypotension or kidney problems.

Warning

Contraindicated in pregnancy due to potential fetal harm. Use with caution in patients with renal artery stenosis or severe liver disease. May cause a more severe drop in blood pressure in volume-depleted patients.

Interactions

May interact with other drugs affecting the renin-angiotensin system, potassium-sparing diuretics, and NSAIDs. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications you’re taking.

Important Information

Take Swipha Telmisartan with or without food at the same time each day. Monitor blood pressure regularly. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s close to your next scheduled dose. Do not double doses. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption. Inform your doctor if you experience persistent dizziness or fainting. This medication may affect kidney function; regular monitoring may be necessary, especially in patients with kidney problems or diabetes.
