Tasmi is a high-potency antihypertensive medication containing Telmisartan, a long-acting angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It is designed to provide sustained 24-hour blood pressure control by relaxing blood vessels, making it a cornerstone treatment for managing hypertension and protecting the cardiovascular system from long-term damage.
Product Type: Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB)
Manufacturer: Getz Pharma (Private) Limited
Active Ingredient: Telmisartan ($80mg$)
Pack Size: 14 or 28 Tablets (usually 2 blisters of 7 or 14)
Route: Oral
Availability: Prescription Required (POM) — Pharmacist consultation mandatory
Suitable For: Adults with Hypertension
Tasmi is indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure). It is also used to reduce cardiovascular morbidity in patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (history of coronary heart disease, stroke, or peripheral arterial disease) or Type 2 diabetes with documented end-organ damage. By blocking the hormone angiotensin II, Tasmi prevents blood vessels from tightening, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow to the heart and kidneys.
DO NOT USE TASMI IF YOU ARE PREGNANT. If pregnancy is detected, Tasmi must be discontinued immediately. Exposure to ARBs during the second and third trimesters can cause severe injury or death to the developing fetus. Additionally, avoid use if you have severe biliary obstructive disorders or severe liver impairment.
Take one tablet daily, with or without food, preferably at the same time each morning. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Because Telmisartan has a very long half-life, it provides consistent blood pressure lowering throughout the entire 24-hour dosing interval.
Note: Do not remove the tablet from the blister pack until you are ready to take it, as Telmisartan tablets are sensitive to moisture. Continue taking the medication even if you feel well; hypertension is often a "silent" condition with no outward symptoms.
Tasmi is generally well-tolerated. Common side effects include upper respiratory tract infections (like a cold or sinus congestion), back pain, diarrhea, and pharyngitis. Some users may experience a slight increase in potassium levels. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience swelling of the face, lips, or throat (angioedema) or severe dizziness.
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Always keep the tablets in their original blister packaging. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the pack.
Q: How long does it take for Tasmi to work?
A: While it begins to work within a few hours, the maximum blood pressure lowering effect is usually achieved 4 to 8 weeks after starting treatment.
Q: Can I take Tasmi with salt substitutes?
A: Use caution. Many salt substitutes contain potassium. Since Telmisartan can increase blood potassium levels, combining them may lead to hyperkalemia (excess potassium).
Q: What should I do if I miss a dose?
A: Take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If you forget for a whole day, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Never take two tablets at once.
Q: Can I drink alcohol while on Tasmi?
A: Alcohol can further lower your blood pressure, which may cause dizziness or fainting. It is best to limit alcohol intake while on antihypertensive therapy.
