Detailed Answer:
Hello

After going through the medical query raised by you I can understand your concern for your father’s health and I would like to tell you that Cortal 40 contains telmisartan and is not associated with any significant headache like side effects.

I assume the headache is due to high blood pressure. Kindly monitor your fathers blood pressure twice daily and if it stays more than 140/90 then probably he needs to add another bp medication along with cortal.

Also it’s advisable to check his eye sight as that can also cause headaches.

Kind Regards
