Hello asabdullah, since telma is a long acting drug, od dose (once a day) is preferred rather than twice a day. So 80 mg once is better than 40 mg twice. Usually first 40 mg once a day is started (provided renal function tests are normal) and if bp not controlled, then can escalate the dose to 80 mg once a day. Also concentrate on diet and lifestyle modifications.
