Does intake of telma 40 cause side effects in respiratory tract?
Patient: i was taking telma 40 to control my BP which is in the range of 130/~90. i also have sinus problem and suffer from upper respiratory infaction if i do not take precaution specially in winter. as i have read that one of the side effects of telma 40 is upper respiratory infaction, is it safe for me to use it. Doctor: Hello, Telma (telmisartan) has got no relation with upper respiratory tract infection. If the cough or sinus problem persists, consult a general practitioner and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
