Telmisartan/hctz is a combination medication used primarily in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines two drugs in one pill - telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) which relaxes blood vessels to lower blood pressure, and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention.

How is this medication used?

Telmisartan/hctz is generally taken once per day, with or without food. It's important to take it at the same time every day for the best results. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended by your doctor.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects include dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, or dry mouth. More serious side effects can include rapid weight gain, swelling, high potassium levels, and signs of kidney problems. Contact your doctor if you experience any severe or persistent side effects.

What are the potential interactions?

Telmisartan/hctz can interact with a variety of drugs including NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen), lithium, digoxin, barbiturates, corticosteroids, and other blood pressure medications. It can also interact with supplements and certain diets, such as a high-salt diet. Always inform your healthcare provider of all medications and supplements you're taking before starting telmisartan/hctz.
