ZOMET TH TABLET 10'S

How ZOMET TH TABLET 10'S Works

• ZOMET TH TABLET 10'S is a combination medication designed to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. It combines two active ingredients: Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide, each working through different mechanisms to achieve a synergistic effect in lowering blood pressure.
• Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), works by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptors in various tissues, including the smooth muscle of blood vessels and the adrenal gland. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor (a substance that narrows blood vessels) and also stimulates the release of aldosterone, a hormone that promotes sodium and water retention by the kidneys. By blocking angiotensin II, Telmisartan causes blood vessels to relax and widen, reducing peripheral resistance and thus lowering blood pressure. Additionally, the reduced aldosterone levels lead to decreased sodium and water retention, further contributing to the antihypertensive effect. Telmisartan provides long-lasting blood pressure control with a once-daily dosage.
• Hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic, works primarily in the kidneys to promote the excretion of sodium and water. It inhibits the sodium-chloride symporter in the distal convoluted tubule of the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney. By blocking this transporter, Hydrochlorothiazide prevents the reabsorption of sodium and chloride, leading to increased excretion of these electrolytes, along with water. This diuretic effect reduces the volume of fluid in the bloodstream, which in turn lowers blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide also has a mild vasodilatory effect, further contributing to its blood pressure-lowering properties. The diuretic effect also helps to alleviate edema, or fluid retention, which can be associated with hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions.
• The combination of Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide in ZOMET TH TABLET 10'S provides a more effective approach to managing hypertension compared to using either medication alone. Telmisartan counteracts the sodium and water retention that can be caused by Hydrochlorothiazide, while Hydrochlorothiazide enhances the blood pressure-lowering effect of Telmisartan. This synergistic effect helps to achieve better blood pressure control and reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. ZOMET TH TABLET 10'S should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional, and regular monitoring of blood pressure and electrolytes is recommended during treatment.

Common side effects of ZOMET TH Tablet may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach upset, headache, dizziness, fatigue, muscle pain, joint pain, and upper respiratory tract infection symptoms such as sore throat or runny nose. Less common but more serious side effects could involve liver problems (indicated by jaundice, dark urine, or persistent abdominal pain), kidney problems (changes in urine output), allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling), or cardiovascular issues (chest pain, irregular heartbeat). Changes in blood sugar levels (either high or low) may also occur. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience any severe or persistent side effects.

• If you miss a dose of ZOMET TH Tablet 10'S, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
