Hydrochlorothiazide + Telmisartan
Hydrochlorothiazide + Telmisartan is a combination of telmisartan, an orally active, AT1 receptor subtype specific angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic.
This combination is used to treat Hypertension.
- Hydrochlorothiazide + Telmisartan is available as oral tablets.
- The recommended dose of Hydrochlorothiazide + Telmisartan for patients inadequately controlled with telmisartan monotherapy is 80 mg/12.5 mg. Dose can be titrated up to 160 mg/25 mg after 2 to 4 weeks, if necessary.
- Start a patient on Hydrochlorothiazide + Telmisartan 80 mg / 12.5 mg once day if their blood pressure is not sufficiently controlled by 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide once daily, or if it is controlled but they have hypokalemia. If necessary, the dose can be increased to 160 mg/25 mg after 2 to 4 weeks.
The side effects associated with the medication are as follows-
- headache
- dizziness
- Pharyngitis
- Hypotension
- Tinnitus
- Dyspepsia
- Asthenia
- During the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, medications that act on the renin-angiotensin system impair fetal renal function and increase fetal and newborn morbidity and death.
- In controlled trials, patients with uncomplicated hypertension treated with Hydrochlorothiazide + telmisartan experienced a very little (0.7 percent) drop in blood pressure. Symptomatic hypotension can occur in patients with an active renin-angiotensin system, such as volume- and/or salt-depleted patients on high doses of diuretics.
