Brief Answer:
Telma H and Telma a day

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
You should not take cilacar more than 20 mg through out the day. You should recheck your potassium once.
You should have Tab Telma H 40/12.5 mg in the morning, cilacar 10 mg twice a day and add plain Telma 20 or 40 mg in the evening according to need. Most of the bp readings should be less than 140/90 mmhg.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
