Thank you for your question! I understand your concern and want to explain that Telvas H, that is telmisartan+hydrochlorthiazide (HCTZ) whichever dose of HCTZ it contains (12,5 or 25 mg) is a good option fr your hypertension treatment, unless you don't have liver or renal dysfunction. to measure the effect of a given dose treatment you have to wait for about 2 to 4 weeks of treatment; and after that if BP values keep going abnormally high you can up titrate (that is to increase the dose), BUT ALWAYS ACCORDING TO THE DOCTOR SUPERVISION.
Hope to have been helpful to you! Greetings from Dr. Iliri
