Telday Am Tablet ( 15 Tab )

What is Telday AM Tablet used for?

Telday AM Tablet is primarily used to manage hypertension, also known as high blood pressure. It is often prescribed when treatment with a single blood pressure medicine is not sufficient to control blood pressure. By effectively lowering blood pressure, it helps reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular complications such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage.

How does Telday AM Tablet work?

Telday AM Tablet is a combination of two active ingredients: Amlodipine and Telmisartan. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing the blood vessels and improving blood flow by preventing calcium from entering the heart and artery muscles. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the hormone angiotensin II, which normally causes blood vessels to tighten. Together, these two medications relax and widen blood vessels, reducing the strain on the heart and effectively lowering blood pressure.

What is the usual dosage for Telday AM Tablet?

Telday AM Tablet is typically taken once daily, as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood pressure control. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your medical condition and response to the treatment. It's crucial not to chew, crush, or break the tablet, and to swallow it whole with a glass of water.

What are the possible side effects of Telday AM Tablet?

Common side effects include dizziness, tiredness, sleepiness, headache, swollen ankles or feet, sudden drop in blood pressure with fainting, racing heartbeat, flushing or redness of the face and neck, back pain, abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea. While these usually resolve as your body adjusts to the medication, consult your doctor if they persist or worsen. More severe, though rare, side effects can include a significant decrease in blood pressure, swelling of body parts, unexplained weight gain, chest pain, high blood potassium levels, or severe allergic reactions.

Is Telday AM Tablet safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
