About this product

Overview

TELSARTA 20mg tablet contains the active ingredient telmisartan, which belongs to a class of medications known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). Telmisartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to narrow, thereby relaxing blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. This medication is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults and can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke.

Key Features

  • Treatment of Hypertension: TELSARTA 20mg tablet is indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults.
  • Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker: Telmisartan selectively blocks the binding of angiotensin II to its receptors, leading to vasodilation and lowering of blood pressure.
  • Cardioprotective Effects: By lowering blood pressure, TELSARTA helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke.
  • Once-Daily Dosage: TELSARTA 20mg tablet is usually taken once daily, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare provider.
  • Gradual Reduction of Blood Pressure: Treatment with telmisartan may lead to a gradual reduction in blood pressure over several weeks.
