Telmisartan

Uses

Telmisartan is used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure, and the prevention of heart attack and stroke.

How it Works

How Telmisartan works Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It relaxes blood vessels by blocking the action of a chemical that typically constricts blood vessels. This action lowers blood pressure, allowing blood to flow more smoothly to various organs and enabling the heart to pump more efficiently.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Telmisartan include sinus inflammation, skin ulcer, intermittent claudication, diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infection, and back pain.

Expert Advice

  • Take it at the same time each day to maintain stable blood pressure levels.
  • Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated while on this medication.
  • Regularly check your blood pressure to ensure the medication is working effectively.
  • Limit alcohol intake, as it can lower blood pressure and increase side effects.
  • Do not stop taking Telmisartan suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this can worsen your condition.
  • Telmisartan may cause dizziness for the first few days.
  • Rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down for a long time.
  • Incorporate a healthy diet and regular exercise to enhance the effectiveness of the medication.
  • Your doctor may conduct regular tests to monitor the levels of urea, creatinine, and potassium in your blood.
  • Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen along with this medicine without consulting your doctor.
  • Do not take Telmisartan if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Frequently asked questions

Can Telmisartan cause hyperkalemia?
Yes, Telmisartan can lead to hyperkalemia (increased potassium levels). Regular monitoring of potassium levels may be recommended by your doctor.
Does Telmisartan cause weight gain?
No, Telmisartan is not known to cause weight gain and has been shown to decrease fat tissue in animal studies.
Does Telmisartan cause excessive urination?
No, Telmisartan does not cause excessive urination and is not a diuretic. It works by relaxing blood vessels and blocking the effects of angiotensin II, which raises blood pressure.
How long does it take for Telmisartan to work?
You may notice improvements within a few days, but maximum benefits are typically observed within 4-8 weeks of starting treatment.
Can I take Telmisartan if I have kidney problems?
You may take Telmisartan if prescribed by your doctor, who may monitor your kidney function through regular tests. Contact your doctor if you experience swelling in your feet, ankles, or hands, or unexplained weight gain.
Should Telmisartan be taken in the morning or at night?
Telmisartan can be taken once daily, either in the morning or evening. It is advisable to take it at the same time each day for consistency.
Does Telmisartan affect blood glucose levels in diabetics?
Telmisartan may lower blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. Regular monitoring of blood glucose is important, and dosage adjustments for insulin or antidiabetic medications may be necessary.
Can I stop taking Telmisartan if my blood pressure is controlled?
No, do not stop taking Telmisartan without consulting your doctor, even if your blood pressure is controlled. Sudden discontinuation may raise your blood pressure, as Telmisartan manages but does not cure high blood pressure. Lifelong treatment may be necessary.
What precautions should I take if using ibuprofen with Telmisartan?
If taking ibuprofen with Telmisartan, monitor your blood pressure and kidney function closely. Ibuprofen may enhance side effects of Telmisartan and reduce its effectiveness in lowering blood pressure.
