SALT INFORMATION FOR Benidin Trio

Benidipine(4mg)

Uses

Benidipine is used in the treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure) and Angina (heart-related chest pain).

How it works

Benidipine is a calcium channel blocker. It regulates the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels and reducing the pressure on them, thereby making it easier for the heart to pump more blood throughout the body. In this way, it normalizes the blood pressure in patients with high blood pressure. This enhanced blood flow also improves the oxygen flow in the body, thereby, preventing any heart-related chest pain (angina).

Common side effects

Fatigue, Ankle swelling, Sleepiness, Flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck and trunk), Headache, Dizziness, Palpitations, Nausea, Edema (swelling), Abdominal pain
Telmisartan(40mg)

Uses

Telmisartan is used in the treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure), Heart failure, fever and prevention of heart attack and stroke.

How it works

Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It relaxes blood vessels by blocking the action of a chemical that usually makes blood vessels tighter. This lowers the blood pressure, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly to different organs and the heart to pump more efficiently..

Common side effects

Diarrhea, Asthma, Angioedema (swelling of deeper layers of skin), Increased white blood cell count (eosinophils), Low blood platelets, Impotence, Migraine, Upper respiratory tract infection, Back pain, Cough, Hypersensitivity, Sinus inflammation, Skin ulcer, Vertigo, Intermittent claudication, Increased sweating, Flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck and trunk), Fever, Piles, Bronchitis (inflammation of the airways), Joint inflammation, Dryness in mouth, Cystitis, Nausea, Ringing in ear, Decreased hemoglobin, Tachycardia, Increased creatinine level in blood
Chlorthalidone(6.25mg)

Uses

Chlorthalidone is used for Hypertension (high blood pressure) and Edema. It treats oedema (fluid overload) associated with heart, liver, kidney or lung disease.

How it works

Chlorthalidone is a diuretic which lowers blood pressure by removing extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Over time it also relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow.

Common side effects

Headache, Nausea, Vomiting, Dizziness, Vertigo, Orthostatic hypotension (sudden lowering of blood pressure on standing), Erectile dysfunction, Electrolyte imbalance, Increased glucose level in blood, Increased uric acid level in blood, Weakness, Hypersensitivity, Renal impairment, Cholestasis, Jaundice, Photosensitivity

Q. What if you forget to take Benidipine?
If you miss a dose of Benidipine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Telmisartan

Q. Should Telmisartan be taken in the morning or at night?
Telmisartan is generally recommended to be taken once daily, either in the morning or in the evening. Consider taking it at the same time each day as it will help you to remember taking it.

You may see an improvement within a few days. But, the maximum benefit can be seen within 4-8 weeks of starting treatment.
Q. My blood pressure is now controlled. Can I stop taking Telmisartan now?

Q. Can the use of Telmisartan cause hyperkalemia (increased potassium level in blood)?
Yes, Telmisartan can cause hyperkalemia (increased potassium level in blood). A regular monitoring of blood potassium levels may be advised by your doctor while taking this medicine.
Q. If I have some kidney problem, can I take Telmisartan? Can it further deteriorate my kidney function?
You can take Telmisartan if it has been advised by your doctor. Your doctor may ask you to get regular tests done (potassium and creatinine levels) in order to monitor your kidney function. Telmisartan may cause worsening of kidney function, therefore you should contact your doctor in case you notice swelling in your feet, ankles, or hands or unexplained weight gain.

Q. Does Telmisartan affect blood glucose levels in diabetics?

Q. Do I need to follow any precautions if I take ibuprofen and Telmisartan together?
If you are taking ibuprofen and Telmisartan together, you should continuously keep a check on your blood pressure and kidney function. Telmisartan may enhance the side effects of ibuprofen which may further cause water retention, especially in patients taking Telmisartan for heart failure. Ibuprofen may interfere with the working of Telmisartan and decrease its efficiency at lowering blood pressure.
Q. Does Telmisartan work by causing excessive urination?
No, Telmisartan does not cause excessive urination and does not belong to the diuretic class of medicines. Telmisartan works by relaxing the blood vessels by blocking the effect of a substance known as angiotensin II. This substance is responsible for increasing the blood pressure by narrowing down the blood vessels.
