Telma CT Forte Tablet is taken orally.

Telma CT Forte Tablet is a combination medicine consisting of two active ingredients:

• Telmisartan (40 mg): As an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), telmisartan works by blocking the action of a hormone called angiotensin II in your body. Angiotensin II typically causes your blood vessels to narrow or constrict; therefore, blocking it allows your blood vessels to relax.

• Chlorthalidone (12.5 mg): This component falls under the category of diuretics or "water pills". It operates by increasing the amount of salt and water expelled from your kidneys and reducing fluid retention in your body, which can contribute to increased blood pressure.

  Together, these ingredients work harmoniously to lower blood pressure by relaxing your blood vessels and decreasing the volume of blood present within them.

• Store Telma CT Forte Tablet Tablet in a cool, dry place at a temperature below 25°C.

• Avoid storing this medicine in direct light or heat exposure.

• Make sure to keep it away from children and pets for safety.

• Do remember to use this medicine before its expiry date.

• Since Telma CT Forte Tablet is used to manage hypertension, a low-salt diet is advisable. Consuming less salt can help lessen water retention, thus helping control blood pressure.

• Regular exercise, such as walking or cycling, can also help manage high blood pressure. However, consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
