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.

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.

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.

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?
