Taking both together might bring down blood pressure below normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Telmisartan is a medication to lower high blood pressure. Alprazolam is given for anxiety.
Telmisartan and Alprazolam can interact with each other and cause further decrease in blood pressure. This might cause symptoms like headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting and abnormal pulse or heart rate.
Please take both together only if your doctor has prescribed it after considering benefits in your treatment. Watch out for above interactions which are more common at the start of treatment. Avoid doing jobs requiring a high degree of alertness when taking both medication in the beginning.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
