Overview

Only product, safety and handling information is published here. Anything beyond that is explained to you directly by your doctor or pharmacist as part of your consultation.

DoctorOnCall is a licensed online pharmacy. Orders for Hovid Telmisartan 40mg Tablet are processed only after a doctor has assessed your suitability and issued a prescription, and every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is sent out.

Directions for Use

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, at approximately the same time each day to help maintain a consistent blood pressure-lowering effect. The tablet may be taken with or without food. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered unless it is almost time for the next dose, in which case the missed dose should be skipped – do not double the dose.

Dosage

The usual starting dose of telmisartan for hypertension is 40mg once daily, which may be adjusted by the doctor up to a maximum of 80mg once daily depending on blood pressure response. Some patients may be started on a lower dose. The tablet can be taken with or without food. The prescribed dose and any adjustments should always be determined by the treating doctor based on blood pressure readings and individual response – do not change your dose without medical advice.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Potassium supplements, potassium-sparing diuretics, or salt substitutes containing potassium may increase blood potassium levels when combined with telmisartan
  • NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen or diclofenac) may reduce the blood pressure-lowering effect and increase the risk of kidney problems, especially in older adults or those with reduced kidney function
  • Combining with other blood pressure medicines, including ACE inhibitors, may increase the risk of low blood pressure, high potassium, and changes in kidney function
  • Inform your doctor of all medicines, including over-the-counter painkillers and supplements, that you are taking
