These side effects generally improve over time as the body adapts to the medicine but if they persist even after 7-10 days then one must seek medical help immediately since prolonged side effects can cause permanent health damage in some cases .
How it works ?
•Telmisartan belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). It acts by blocking the action of angiotensin II , a hormone responsible for causing narrowing and hardening of arteries which leads to elevation in blood pressure .
Chlorthalidone is a diuretic (water pill) which works by increasing production of urine thereby decreasing sodium levels in the body which further reduces water retention resulting in decreased blood volume resulting ultimately in lower blood pressure .
Combining these two medicines increases efficacy , thereby providing better control over hypertension resulting improved overall health .
FAQs :

A1: If you experience any bothersome side effects after starting this medication consult your doctor immediately who can provide advice on managing them appropriately without affecting treatment efficacy .
Q2: Can I take Telpres CT along with other antihypertensive medications ?
A2: Telpres CT tablet is a fixed dose combination containing two classes of drugs – an angiotensin II receptor blocker and thiazide diuretic
Hence adding any other antihypertensive medications will increase risk of drug interactions leading complications hence not advised unless suggested specifically by your physician
