Telvas-3D Tablet

Telvas-3D Tablet – Telmisartan 40 mg + Amlodipine 5 mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg by Aristo

Telvas-3D from Aristo Pharmaceuticals contains Telmisartan 40 mg, Amlodipine 5 mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg – the 3D being the three drugs. This is the classic triple combination for resistant hypertension, and it is the one with the most clinical history behind it: an ARB, a calcium channel blocker and a thiazide diuretic, each attacking a different part of the problem. Guidelines reach for exactly this trio when two drugs have failed, because their mechanisms are genuinely independent – hormone blockade, arterial relaxation and fluid reduction. Three separate prescriptions become one tablet, which over years of daily treatment is the difference between taking it and forgetting it. Strip of 10 tablets. Schedule H prescription medicine.

Uses & Benefits

• Brings blood pressure down when two medicines have not been enough
• Three complementary mechanisms in a single daily tablet
• Replaces three separate tablets, which helps long-term adherence
• Reduces the long-term risk of stroke, heart attack and heart failure
• Attacks pressure from vessel tone, calcium channels and fluid volume at once
• No dry cough, unlike ACE inhibitor combinations

Directions for Use

• Take one tablet once daily, exactly as prescribed, at the same time each day
• Take it in the morning – the diuretic increases urination, and an evening dose disturbs sleep
• Swallow the tablet whole with water; may be taken with or without food
• Keep taking it even when you feel well – high blood pressure usually has no symptoms
• Do not stop or change the dose on your own; pressure rebounds when treatment stops

Precautions

• Stop immediately and contact your doctor if you become pregnant. The pack warns that telmisartan can cause injury and even death to the developing baby when used in the second and third trimesters
• Seek emergency care for swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat
• Ankle swelling, flushing and headache are the typical amlodipine effects – report swelling that troubles you
• The diuretic can lower potassium and sodium and raise uric acid and blood sugar. Tell your doctor if you have gout or diabetes, and keep to the blood test schedule
• Dizziness on standing is common early on, and worse if you are dehydrated
• Tell your doctor about kidney disease, renal artery narrowing, liver disease, or if you take NSAIDs or lithium

Storage

• Store below 30°C, protected from light and moisture
• Keep tablets in the original blister until use
• Keep out of reach of children
