Chartoreg 80 mg 28 tabs 6223012330161

Description:

Chartoreg 80 mg is a prescription antihypertensive medicine containing telmisartan, an angiotensin ii receptor blocker (arb), used for the long-term management of high blood pressure. By selectively blocking the at1 receptors of angiotensin ii, it helps relax blood vessels, reduce peripheral vascular resistance, and lower blood pressure, thereby decreasing the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as stroke and heart attack. Chartoreg 80 mg tablets are manufactured by Utopia and are intended for adult patients under medical supervision as part of a comprehensive cardiovascular risk reduction plan, which may include diet, exercise, and other medications.

Indications:

• Treatment of essential (primary) hypertension in adults.
• Helps reduce elevated blood pressure and maintain it within target ranges.
• May be used as monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensive agents (such as diuretics, calcium channel blockers, or beta-blockers) as prescribed by a physician.
• Assists in lowering the risk of cardiovascular complications associated with uncontrolled high blood pressure, such as stroke, myocardial infarction, and heart failure, when used as part of overall risk management.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Telmisartan – 80 mg per tablet.
• Excipients: The full list of inactive ingredients (such as fillers, binders, colorants, and preservatives) is not available in the provided data. Please refer to the package insert for complete excipient information.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Usual starting dose for adults: 40 mg once daily, as commonly recommended for telmisartan. The maintenance dose may range from 20 mg to 80 mg once daily based on blood pressure response and physician assessment.
• Chartoreg 80 mg is typically used when a higher dose is required, or as a maintenance dose in patients stabilized on 80 mg telmisartan once daily, strictly as directed by the prescribing doctor.
• Route of administration: Oral. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew unless advised otherwise by your healthcare provider.
• Timing: Can be taken with or without food, but it is preferable to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels.
• Missed dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Duration of use: Long-term treatment. Do not stop taking Chartoreg 80 mg without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms.
• Special populations: Dose adjustments and careful monitoring may be required in patients with hepatic impairment, renal impairment, or in the elderly. Use only as directed by a physician.

Clinical Benefits:

• Effectively lowers elevated blood pressure by blocking the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin ii at the at1 receptor.
• Reduces peripheral vascular resistance, leading to improved blood flow and decreased workload on the heart.
• Helps lower the risk of cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, and related complications when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
• Provides 24-hour blood pressure control with once-daily dosing, supporting better adherence and stable blood pressure management.
• Does not typically cause a persistent dry cough, which can be associated with ace inhibitors, making it a suitable alternative for patients intolerant to ace inhibitors.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to telmisartan or any component of the formulation.
• Contraindicated during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, due to risk of injury and death to the developing fetus. If pregnancy is detected, discontinue telmisartan as soon as possible.
• Not recommended during breastfeeding unless clearly needed and only under medical supervision.
• Contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment, cholestasis, or biliary obstructive disorders unless specifically allowed by a specialist.
• Use with caution in patients with renal artery stenosis, severe renal impairment, or those with a history of kidney disease; regular monitoring of renal function and serum potassium is advised.
• Hyperkalemia risk: Concomitant use with potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements, or potassium-containing salt substitutes may increase serum potassium levels; monitor potassium regularly.
• Symptomatic hypotension may occur, especially in patients who are volume- or salt-depleted (e.g., on high-dose diuretics, low-salt diet, vomiting, or diarrhea). Correct volume depletion before starting therapy where possible.
• Use with caution in patients with heart failure, ischemic heart disease, or cerebrovascular disease, as excessive blood pressure reduction may lead to myocardial infarction or stroke.
• Drug interactions: Use carefully with other antihypertensives, nsaids, lithium, and diuretics. Always inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as kidney disease, liver disease, heart failure, diabetes, or electrolyte imbalances.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision. It is a prescription medicine that must be used only under a healthcare provider’s guidance.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include dizziness, lightheadedness (especially at the start of treatment), fatigue, headache, and mild gastrointestinal discomfort.
• Less common side effects can include low blood pressure (hypotension), palpitations, back pain, muscle cramps, or upper respiratory tract infections.
• Serious side effects (seek immediate medical attention): signs of severe allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling of face/lips/tongue/throat, severe dizziness, difficulty breathing), severe or persistent hypotension, chest pain, sudden weakness or numbness, vision or speech disturbances, or signs of kidney problems (reduced urine output, swelling of legs or ankles, unusual fatigue).
• Electrolyte disturbances such as hyperkalemia may occur; symptoms may include muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, or tingling sensations.
• This is not a complete list of side effects. Always read the patient information leaflet and consult your doctor or pharmacist if you experience any unusual or persistent symptoms.
