How should I reduce my medicine intake for blood pressure once the blood pressure is normal? Presently, I take Telma 40 mg tablet in the afternoon every day.? Also any generic medicine for this tablet? Are generic drugs really the same quality as the name brands?

Ans: Telmisartan is the name of the medicine you are taking. You can choose any brand that you are comfortable with.
Regarding reducing the medicine, if the BP is 120/80 or below, you can reduce the medicine to half and monitor BP. If it increases, you are not ready to reduce the medicine. But if it remains the same, you can try and stop it. Continue to monitor BP. Give 2 weeks before making any changes

Question by Bunty - Oct 30, 2024Hindi

Health

I am 56 years of age. Since last two years I have regularly taking one tablet of Telmasartan 40, after being advised by the Doctor. However still my BP remains in the region of 160/100 to 150/90. Do I need to change the medicine and for that matter, consult a doctor.

Ans: Yes, you definitely another medicine added to Telmisarten. If it is still not controlled, the dose of Telmisarten could be doubled and other medicine could continue in half strength.
It has been found that combination medicines in less than full strength are better than higher dose of single medicine.

I am giving my twelth boards now and after ten days is my jee first attempt what should i study for it... i know i am late but still... and i also want to take drop for 2026... should i take it... and if yes then how should i study online or offline.. and from where... I am from Uttar Pradesh Lucknow is preferable and jhanshi also.. thank you

Ans: Since time is very limited, focus on high-weightage and easy-to-score topics instead of trying to study everything.
If you truly want a top NIT/IIT, and you think with proper coaching and 1-year dedication you can improve significantly, then a drop year is a good idea.
Best Offline Coaching (Lucknow & Jhansi)
Allen Lucknow (Best for droppers, strong faculty & test series)
FIITJEE Lucknow (Good for droppers, rigorous testing)
Motion Jhansi (Affordable and good personal guidance)

Best Online Coaching for Droppers
PhysicsWallah (PW) Arjuna Batch (Affordable + Good material)
Unacademy JEE (Live classes, flexible learning)
Vedantu Dropper Batch (Interactive learning)
