Yes, you can take TRIOLMEZEST 40 even if you have
diabetes, but only under the guidance of a doctor.
Next Steps
Important Considerations:
1. Blood
Sugar Monitoring – Since chlorthalidone can sometimes raise blood glucose slightly, monitor sugar levels regularly.
2.
Kidney Function Tests – Regular check-ups are important if you have
diabetes and take antihypertensives.
3. Lifestyle Modifications – Salt restriction, weight control, walking, and avoiding alcohol/smoking are vital for managing both BP and diabetes.
Health Tips
Alternatives if not tolerated:
If TRIOLMEZEST causes issues with
sugar or potassium levels, your doctor may switch to:
Telmisartan or Losartan alone (
kidney-protective)
Amlodipine (another
calcium channel blocker)
Beta-blockers or alpha-blockers (if needed based on heart rate and co-existing conditions)
Bottom line: Do not stop or change this medicine without medical advice. Many diabetics safely use this combination when prescribed appropriately.
