Duride Tablet 40mg/5mg Benefits

- A dependable option for patients whose pressure remains high on one drug alone.
- A long safety record built over years of use in hypertension care worldwide.
Doctors in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi prescribe this combination often, since uncontrolled blood pressure is common across Pakistan's crowded cities.
Daily stress, salty diets, and limited physical activity in Pakistan's cities push many adults toward combination therapy earlier than expected.
Regular blood pressure checks and occasional blood tests help a doctor confirm this combination is working safely over time.
Drug Class
- Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB), the class for the Telmisartan component.
- Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB), the class for the Amlodipine component.
- Fixed dose antihypertensive combination therapy for resistant blood pressure.

Drug Interactions
Several medicines and supplements can change how this combination works, so a doctor should know about everything being taken.
- NSAIDs: Regular use of painkillers like ibuprofen or diclofenac can reduce the blood pressure lowering effect and stress the kidneys.
- Potassium supplements: These can raise potassium to unsafe levels when combined with the telmisartan component.
- Lithium: Blood lithium levels can rise, increasing the risk of toxicity.
- Simvastatin: High doses combined with amlodipine may raise the risk of muscle related side effects.
- Other blood pressure medicines: The use of several agents together can drop blood pressure too low, causing dizziness or fainting.
Risks and warnings
- Pregnancy: This medicine can harm an unborn baby and should be stopped as soon as pregnancy is confirmed.
- Kidney function: Reduced kidney function may need closer monitoring or a lower dose.
- Low blood pressure: Dizziness or fainting can occur, especially after the first few doses.
- Liver disease: Caution is advised, since both components are processed by the liver.
- Swelling: Ankle or leg swelling is a known effect of the amlodipine component and should be reported if severe.
