Benefits of Telista-D Tablet SR

In Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Telista-D Tablet SR is a combination of two medicines namely Telmisartan and Indapamide. It is generally used when one medicine alone is not controlling your blood pressure effectively.

You do not usually feel any direct benefit from taking this medicine, but it works in the long term to keep you well.

What if Telista-D Tablet SR doesn’t make me feel any better?

High blood pressure does not usually have any symptoms, so you do not feel ill if there is any change in the blood pressure. Therefore, these tablets may not make you feel “better”.

Can Telista-D Tablet SR affect my fertility or sex life?

Some blood pressure medicines (including water pills like hydrochlorothiazide) may affect a man’s ability to gain or maintain an erection (erectile dysfunction).
