Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It relaxes and widens blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II action, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing strain on the heart.

Take by mouth as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow tablet whole with water; do not stop suddenly without medical advice.
