Product Description

Telmisartan 40 mg, Cilnidipine 10 mg, and Chlorthalidone 12.5 mg Tablet is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke in adults.

Hypertension is a condition characterized by persistently elevated blood pressure, meaning the force of blood against the artery walls is higher than normal. This increased pressure puts extra strain on your heart and arteries, increasing their workload.

This tablet combines three medicines:

• Chlorthalidone (a thiazide-like diuretic)

• Cilnidipine (a calcium channel blocker)

• Telmisartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker)

Chlorthalidone helps your body remove excess water and salts such as sodium and potassium through urine. This reduces the fluid volume in your blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure.

Cilnidipine relaxes the muscle cells in the walls of your arteries, causing them to widen and improve blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart.

Telmisartan blocks the hormone angiotensin II, which normally causes blood vessels to narrow. By blocking this hormone, Telmisartan helps widen and relax blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.

Uses

• Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)

• Reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications

How it works

This combination tablet works through three complementary mechanisms:

• Chlorthalidone removes excess water and salts from the body, reducing blood volume and pressure.

• Cilnidipine relaxes and widens blood vessels by blocking calcium channels in artery walls.

• Telmisartan blocks angiotensin II receptors, preventing blood vessel narrowing.

Together, these actions lower high blood pressure and improve blood flow, reducing strain on the heart and arteries.

How does Telmisartan 40mg, Cilnidipine 10mg & Chlorthalidone 12.5mg Tablet work?

This single tablet combines three medicines to effectively treat high blood pressure. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic that helps your body get rid of excess water and sodium, reducing fluid volume in blood vessels. Cilnidipine relaxes and widens blood vessels by blocking calcium channels, and Telmisartan blocks angiotensin II receptors to prevent blood vessel narrowing. Together, they lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events.

Can I take ibuprofen with Telmisartan 40mg, Cilnidipine 10mg & Chlorthalidone 12.5mg Tablet?

It is not recommended to take ibuprofen with this combination tablet. Ibuprofen can reduce the effectiveness of blood pressure medication and increase the risk of kidney problems. If you must take both, consult your doctor for proper monitoring and dosage adjustment.

Which foods should I avoid while taking Telmisartan 40mg, Cilnidipine 10mg & Chlorthalidone 12.5mg Tablet?

You should be mindful of your potassium intake. Telmisartan may increase potassium levels, while Chlorthalidone may decrease them. To avoid complications, avoid potassium supplements and limit high-potassium foods such as bananas, sweet potatoes, nuts, and noni juice unless advised otherwise by your doctor. Regular blood tests will help monitor your potassium levels.
