Efonta T 40mg/40mg Tablet

Efonta T 40mg/40mg Tablet is a medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It helps lower blood pressure and reduce the workload of the heart. This prevents heart attacks and strokes. Efonta T 40mg/40mg Tablet may be prescribed alone or along with other medicines. The dose depends on your blood pressure levels and the severity of your condition. Take it at any time of the day, with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time each day. Keep taking it for as long as advised by your doctor. Do not stop this medicine on your own, even if you feel well because high blood pressure often has no symptoms. This makes it hard to identify any sudden spike and if you stop taking it, your condition may worsen. Keeping active with regular exercise, reducing your weight, and eating a healthy diet will also help control your blood pressure. Studies have shown that it also improves the functioning of the heart by decreasing the heart rate. The most common side effects include fatigue, swelling in the feet or ankles, dizziness, flushing, and headache. Consult your doctor if any of these bother you or do not go away. Before taking Efonta T 40mg/40mg Tablet, let your doctor know if you have any liver, heart, or kidney problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking this medicine. Inform your doctor about what other medicines you are taking, especially those used to treat high blood pressure or heart conditions. Get your blood pressure checked regularly to make sure that this medicine is working properly.

• Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Efonta T 40mg/40mg Tablet is a combination of two antihypertensive medicines: efonidipine and telmisartan. Efonidipine is a calcium channel blocker that regulates blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels and reducing the pressure on them, making it easier for the heart to pump more blood throughout the body. Telmisartan works by blocking the action of certain natural substances (angiotensin II) that tighten the blood vessels, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Efonta T 40mg/40mg Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
