Does Betavert and Telma has any side effects on the body?
Patient: Hello, I was detected with High BP two years before and I was taking Cardace 5 mg for some time and then took homeopathy medicines. I did not find a relief and stopped taking all the medicines for two months. Now I am having high blood pressure (145 / 100) constantly with mild dizziness. Doctor recommended Telma 20 for BP and Betavert 8 mg for mild dizziness. I do not recollect any signs of vertigo except for very mild dizziness especially after i take my bath. Does these medicines have any side effects. Can I continue these - please advise. Thanks, Venkat R. Doctor: I think the dizziness is due to the blood pressure being on higher side,  taking telma should take care of it.  Betavert is just for symptomatic relief and you can avoid if no giddiness/dizziness Telmisartan is similar group like care,  take same care that you used to take with cardace,  very well tolerated drug with minimum side effect However don't stop anti hypertensive drug without yours doctor s advice Regards Dr priyank mody
