Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure); helps reduce risk of cardiovascular events (heart attack/stroke) in high-risk patients when appropriate.

How Telkonol 40 Tablet Works

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It blocks AT1 receptors, preventing angiotensin II–mediated vasoconstriction and aldosterone release. This relaxes blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, and reduces workload on the heart.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
