Telma XX50

Telma XX50 from Glenmark is a triple-combination tablet of Telmisartan, Chlorthalidone and a higher Metoprolol strength. It is prescribed when stronger heart-rate control is needed alongside the ARB and diuretic.

• High blood pressure not controlled by two medicines
• BP with raised heart rate or palpitations, as advised by the doctor

Telmisartan blocks the angiotensin-II receptor and relaxes blood vessels. Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic that helps the kidneys remove extra salt and water. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that slows the heart and reduces its workload, supporting tighter BP control.

Take as prescribed by your doctor, usually with or just after food. Swallow whole with water. Do not stop suddenly as the beta-blocker needs gradual tapering.

• Slow heart rate
• Tiredness, cold hands and feet
• Dizziness on standing
• Increased urination at the start
• Changes in potassium, sodium or uric acid

Tell your doctor about asthma, heart block, severe heart failure, gout, diabetes, liver or kidney disease, or pregnancy. Avoid alcohol and rise slowly from sitting or lying down.

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place, away from light and moisture. Keep in the original strip and out of reach of children.
