Telista 20 Tablet may have the following common side effects:

Dizziness
Upper respiratory tract infection
Back pain

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Telista 20 Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Dizziness: If this medicine makes you feel dizzy, consider taking it at bedtime.
Upper respiratory tract infection: Drinking plenty of fluids and resting can help manage this side effect.

Telista 20 Tablet contains Telmisartan (20mg), which works on the body through the following mechanisms:

Angiotensin II Receptor Blockage: Telmisartan blocks the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors. Angiotensin II is a potent substance that can narrow (constrict) your blood vessels, leading to increased blood pressure. By blocking its effects, telmisartan helps your blood vessels to relax, thereby reducing blood pressure.
Inhibition of Renin Secretion Negative Feedback: Blocking angiotensin II receptors also inhibits the negative feedback on renin secretion. However, the resulting increase in plasma renin activity does not counteract the blood pressure-lowering effect of telmisartan.

Telista 20 Tablet can cause harm to the fetus when used during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. It's best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine if you are pregnant.
