Telmisartan 40 mg
Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension); helps reduce risk of cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke) in high-risk patients as advised by a doctor
Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It blocks the action of angiotensin II on blood vessels, causing them to relax and widen, which lowers blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart.
Take as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily at the same time. Can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not stop abruptly without medical advice.

Not recommended in pregnancy (especially 2nd/3rd trimester) due to risk of fetal harm. Seek medical help for severe dizziness, fainting, swelling of face/lips, or reduced urine output.
