FAQ's on Tel 20mg Tablet

Should Tel be taken in the morning or at night?

Tel 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.

Can the use of Tel cause hyperkalemia (increased potassium level in blood)?

Yes, Tel 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.

I am overweight and the doctor has prescribed me Tel for blood pressure control. I am bothered that Tel can increase my weight. Is it true?

No, do not worry since Tel is not known to cause weight gain. In fact in animal studies Tel has been found to decrease fat tissue.

Do I need to follow any precautions if I take ibuprofen and Tel together?

If you are taking ibuprofen and Tel together, you should continuously keep a check on your blood pressure and kidney function. Tel may enhance the side effects of ibuprofen which may further cause water retention, especially in patients taking Tel for heart failure. Ibuprofen may interfere with the working of Tel and decrease its efficiency at lowering blood pressure.

My blood pressure is now controlled. Can I stop taking Tel now?

No, do not stop taking Tel without consulting your doctor even if your blood pressure is controlled. Stopping it suddenly may increase your blood pressure which could be detrimental for you. Tel does not cure high blood pressure but controls it. So, you may have to take the medicine lifelong. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.

Does Tel affect blood glucose levels in diabetics?

Tel may lower blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Therefore, it is essential to keep a regular track of your blood glucose levels. Talk to your doctor if you are a diabetic because the dose of insulin or antidiabetic medicines may need adjustment.

Does Tel work by causing excessive urination?

No, Tel does not cause excessive urination and does not belong to the diuretic class of medicines. Tel 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.

How long does it take for Tel to work?

You may see an improvement within a few days. But, the maximum benefit can be seen within 4-8 weeks of starting treatment.

If I have some kidney problem, can I take Tel? Can it further deteriorate my kidney function?

You can take Tel 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. Tel 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.
