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

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks AT1 receptors. This relaxes blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, and reduces strain on the heart.

Take as directed by a doctor, usually once daily at the same time each day. Can be taken with or without food. Swallow tablet whole with water; do not stop suddenly without medical advice.
