Actually I was prescribed to take Tezloc H 40/12.5 in the morning and Metpure XL 25 in the evening. In the meantime due to flue I consulted another physician who changed evening doze to Tezloc 40 instead of Metpure XL 25. It has passed two days and i started feeling like low Bp with disturbaces in my tummy. Other capsule is prescribed Topcef200.

Hi,

Yes, low blood pressure could be due to tazloc-40. Tazloc (telmisartan) is an angiotensin receptor blocker commonly prescribed in the treatment of high blood pressure and heart disease.

Its common side effects include low blood pressure, dizziness, backache, swelling of the face or lips and some times dry cough.

Whereas topcef (cefixime) is a cephalosporin group of antibiotics commonly prescribed to treat a variety of susceptible bacterial infections.

Its common side effects include nausea, stomach upset, indigestion, and diarrhea.

Based on the history given you seem have low BP could due to either dehydration caused by the side effects of topcef or the slightly larger dose of tazloc. You must consult your treating physician to adjust the dose of tazloc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
