For those who are controlling high blood pressure with telmisartan/hydrochlorothiazide, dosing guidelines typically start at 40 mg/12.5 mg a day. If you have certain medical conditions, such as liver disease, gallstones, or other gallbladder problems, your healthcare provider may start you on a lower dosage. Your telmisartan/hydrochlorothiazide dosing may be increased or decreased if your blood pressure goal is not reached after several weeks or if side effects develop.
An Introduction to Telmisartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Dosing
As is always the case, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
Telmisartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Dosing for High Blood Pressure
If you have moderate to severe liver disease (such as
cirrhosis), gallstones, or other gallbladder problems, your body may metabolize the medication differently than intended. Therefore, your healthcare provider may start you on a lower dose of telmisartan/hydrochlorothiazide and will likely monitor your situation more closely, or may recommend another
blood pressure medicine.
