Hypertension
My mother is having high BP and she is on medication for many times. Doctor has advised me for Tab Telma CT once in day time.She is taking this medicine regularly but for last 2 days this medicine is not available in chemist shop .It will take atleast 5-6 days for availability.
(1) Can I use tab Telvas 3d in place of Telma CT? If yes, then when I have to take this medicine in morning or at night?
(2) If my mother is taking her BP medicine regularly then why BP doesn't remain normal,why this keeps on fructuating?
(3) At the age of 58 (female) what is ideal BP range that can be considered as normal BP?
Pls help.

No sir. Its not a substitute for Telma ct. Everyone's BP keeps on fluctuating, if it is consistently above 140 /90 may need adjustment of medications .

CTD-T is a substitute of TELMA-CT. Check it TELMA-CT 40/6.25 or not? BP may fluctuate in a patient under treatment of antihypertensive medication. But 140/90 is a good range.

1.telvas 3d has one drug extra..better to give telma and chlorthalidone tablets as separate tablets each..according to the dose prescribed. ..preferably the second one in the morning
2.have home monitoring...her stress or clinic atmosphere can change her readings..at home, ask her to check whenever she is comfortable
3 .recent guidelines are against age specific BP ranges, but earlier it uses to be safe up til 139/89mm of Hg for her age
