The difference between the CUTEL H 40 and CUTEL H 80 is Telmisartan 40mg and Telmisartan 80mg.
So if you are taking the tablets for a longer period the blood pressure may be modulated to the lower side than as adjusted with the dose of CUTEL H 40mg.
Blood pressure threshold to respond to medications can vary if taken for a long period of time, provided there's no risk of serious health issues.
Next Steps
1. Please Change the medicine to CUTEL H 40.
2. Please check the blood pressure - if its on the lower side more than 100/70 mmhg, visit an emergency medicine department for further management
3.. Tiredness can be attributed to the low levels of potassium in the body
Health Tips
1. Hydrate yourself
2. Watch for Low blood pressure ( hypotension) which cause tiredness, weakness, sweating, giddiness, cold hands and legs, increased thirst, blurring of vision
3.. If there's tiredness , that can be related to low potassium levels , so eat more potassium rich food like banana, apricot, kiwi, coconut water, almonds, spinach, beans,lentils,yogurt
