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.

  • 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.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, Telmisartan can lead to hyperkalemia (increased potassium levels). Regular monitoring of potassium levels may be recommended by your doctor.
No, Telmisartan is not known to cause weight gain and has been shown to decrease fat tissue in animal studies.
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.
You may notice improvements within a few days, but maximum benefits are typically observed within 4-8 weeks of starting treatment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
