Should Telminorm 40 Mg Or 80 Mg Be Prescribed At Present?
My mother 70 years, 55 Kg weight has been taking Teminorm AM , once daily since last one month. After one month of its administration the reading is 130/60 with 105 as pulse rate. On consultation with local doctor, the medicine has been changed to Telminorm 80 mg. Further she is diabetic since 1987 and is on insulin since last two years. The regular tests has shown that it is under control. The present reading is Fasting - 60 and PP is 114. Fearing lower side in Fasting Glucose was admnisered and the day after it rose to 103 in fasting. The loacl Dr has advised to take 22 Units (earlier taken was 26 unit) in night and 45 units in morning. So far as Diabetes is concerned it is well under control since last 6 months with insulin as mentioned above and Glycomate GP FORTE 2 administration.
Now my question is wheather Telminorm AM is of high dosage or Telminorm 80 Mg? Further in my opinion the dosage to be administered should be low. Kindly advise

Hello,
Telminorm Am is the combination of two drugs in moderate dosage and telminorm 80 is single drug in high dose, so considering together, both are nearly same, and what will reduce the bp more depend on the patients sensitivity to individual drug. In my opinion there is no point in changing one drug to other, infact beta blockers class of drug should have been added as her pulse rate is high. So you can discuss this with your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
