Taking medicine every day. But do you know what's actually inside it? π
Telma 40 is written on the prescription. But Telma isn't the medicine. Telma is just the brand name. The actual ingredient working on your blood pressure is called Telmisartan.
And here's the thing, it's written on the back of your strip. In small letters. Flip it over right now and look.
Brand may change. Company may change. But if the salt and strength are the same, your body gets the same medicine. Because your body doesn't recognise brands. It recognises salt.
Don't know your medicine's salt? Drop the name in the comments.
