Telrose Tablet belongs to the class of medicines called anti-hypertensives used in the treatment of high blood pressure associated with high cholesterol levels. High blood pressure and high levels of cholesterol are two diseases that occur simultaneously in certain patients. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery wall is high. High cholesterol known as hyperlipidemia or dyslipidemia occurs when there is an excess of the unhealthy balance of cholesterol in the blood.

Telrose Tablet is a combination of Telmisartan (angiotensin II receptor antagonists) and Rosuvastatin (HMG CoA reductase inhibitors). Telmisartan is a blood pressure-lowering medicine that works by blocking the action of a hormone called angiotensin II in the body that causes the narrowing of blood vessels leading to high blood pressure. Thereby, it widens and relaxes blood vessels. This lowers high blood pressure. Rosuvastatin is a lipid-lowering medicine that works by blocking liver enzymes  (HMG-CoA-reductase) causing the liver to make less cholesterol. So, it increases the uptake and breakdown of cholesterol already in the blood by the liver. Thus, Telrose Tablet  lowers the levels of lipids known as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood when lifestyle changes (like a low-fat diet) on their own have failed. Telrose Tablet helps in reducing the ‘bad’ cholesterol LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and increasing the ‘good’ cholesterol  HDL (High-density lipoprotein) by blocking our body’s production of ‘bad’ cholesterol. It also improves your body’s ability to remove it from your blood.

Take Telrose Tablet as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take Telrose Tablet based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience an allergic reaction, low blood pressure (Hypotension), itching of the skin, Steven Johnson syndrome (blistering of skin, mouth, eyes, and genitals), and decreased platelet cell count (thrombocytopenia). Most of these side effects of Telrose Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. It is important to have your lipid profile checked regularly.

Before starting Telrose Tablet , please inform your doctor if you have kidney disease or have undergone a kidney transplant. renal artery stenosis(narrowing of the blood vessels to one or both kidneys), liver disease, and heart trouble. Do not take Telrose Tablet on your own as self-medication. 

Telrose Tablet is used in patients suffering from coexisting Hypertension (High blood pressure) & Hyperlipidemia (High levels of cholesterol). Telrose Tablet improves patient compliance due to ease of dosing.  Telmisartan & Rosuvastatin are the latest drugs among blood pressure and blood cholesterol-lowering drugs, having minimal side effects & more beneficial effects on a patient. Telmisartan lowers blood pressure by blocking switches/receptors of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme II which is responsible for narrowing the blood vessels and increase blood pressure. Rosuvastatin, on the other hand, acts by blocking an enzyme in liver called HMG CoA reductase responsible for the formation of cholesterol in high levels.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Telrose Tablet if you have undergone kidney transplant. If you have severe respiratory failure, diabetes, thyroid, liver, kidney, or heart problems, raised aldosterone levels (water and salt retention in the body along with imbalance of various blood minerals), or renal artery stenosis(narrowing of the blood vessels in one or both kidneys) or if you regularly drink large amounts of alcohol, inform your doctor before taking Telrose Tablet .

• Do not take Telrose Tablet if you have diabetes or occasional attacks of low blood pressure.
• Do not take it if you are allergic to telmisartan and if you are pregnant.
