Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Telmisartan Work?

Telmisartan interrupts the reninangiotensinaldosterone system by specifically blocking the binding of angiotensin II to its receptor, which prevents vasoconstriction and decreases the effects of aldosterone, thus lowering blood pressure.

What is Telmisartan Used For?

FDA indications: Telmisartan is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It is also used to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, or death from heart problems in individuals with risk factors for serious heart disorders.

Offlabel uses: Telmisartan is infrequently used in kidney disease, left ventricular hypertrophy, and recurrent atrial fibrillation prophylaxis.

Common Dosages

Tablets: 20mg, 40mg, 80mg

Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • For high blood pressure: Start at 40mg once per day. This can be increased to a maximum of 80mg per day.
  • For cardiovascular risk reduction: Start at 80mg once per day.

Who Shouldn't Take Telmisartan?

  • Pregnant women or women who are planning to become pregnant.
  • People with an allergy to Telmisartan or any other ARBs.
  • Individuals with a history of angioedema related to previous ARB therapy.
  • People with severely impaired liver function, biliary obstructive disorders or hepatic insufficiency.
  • Anyone with hyperkalemia (high potassium levels).

Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Take it easy on the alcohol. It can lower your blood pressure further and increase side effects of Telmisartan.
  • Maintain a balanced diet to manage your blood pressure.
  • Take your medication around the same time every day to help you remember.
  • Always take your pills exactly how your doctor prescribes them.
  • Seek immediate medical help if you notice any signs of an allergic reaction, such as swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing, or hives.
  • Stay hydrated, especially during exercise and in hot weather.
  • Don?t discontinue the medication without speaking to your doctor, even if you feel well. It?s intended to control blood pressure, not cure it.
