FAQ's on Dtelma 40mg Tablet
How long does it take for Dtelma to work?
You may see an improvement within a few days. But, the maximum benefit can be seen within 4-8 weeks of starting treatment.
Can the use of Dtelma cause hyperkalemia (increased potassium level in blood)?
Yes, Dtelma can cause hyperkalemia (increased potassium level in blood). A regular monitoring of blood potassium levels may be advised by your doctor while taking this medicine.
My blood pressure is now controlled. Can I stop taking Dtelma now?
No, do not stop taking Dtelma without consulting your doctor even if your blood pressure is controlled. Stopping it suddenly may increase your blood pressure which could be detrimental for you. Dtelma does not cure high blood pressure but controls it. So, you may have to take the medicine lifelong. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.
Does Dtelma work by causing excessive urination?
No, Dtelma does not cause excessive urination and does not belong to the diuretic class of medicines. Dtelma works by relaxing the blood vessels by blocking the effect of a substance known as angiotensin II. This substance is responsible for increasing the blood pressure by narrowing down the blood vessels.
Should Dtelma be taken in the morning or at night?
Dtelma is generally recommended to be taken once daily, either in the morning or in the evening. Consider taking it at the same time each day as it will help you to remember taking it.
If I have some kidney problem, can I take Dtelma? Can it further deteriorate my kidney function?
You can take Dtelma if it has been advised by your doctor. Your doctor may ask you to get regular tests done (potassium and creatinine levels) in order to monitor your kidney function. Dtelma may cause worsening of kidney function, therefore you should contact your doctor in case you notice swelling in your feet, ankles, or hands or unexplained weight gain.
Does Dtelma affect blood glucose levels in diabetics?
Dtelma may lower blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Therefore, it is essential to keep a regular track of your blood glucose levels. Talk to your doctor if you are a diabetic because the dose of insulin or antidiabetic medicines may need adjustment.
I am overweight and the doctor has prescribed me Dtelma for blood pressure control. I am bothered that Dtelma can increase my weight. Is it true?
No, do not worry since Dtelma is not known to cause weight gain. In fact in animal studies Dtelma has been found to decrease fat tissue.
Do I need to follow any precautions if I take ibuprofen and Dtelma together?
If you are taking ibuprofen and Dtelma together, you should continuously keep a check on your blood pressure and kidney function. Dtelma may enhance the side effects of ibuprofen which may further cause water retention, especially in patients taking Dtelma for heart failure. Ibuprofen may interfere with the working of Dtelma and decrease its efficiency at lowering blood pressure.
