Distributor inventory | Tablet

Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure); reduction of cardiovascular risk in high‑risk patients when appropriate.

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It blocks AT1 receptors, causing blood vessels to relax and lowering blood pressure, which reduces strain on the heart and helps protect kidneys in susceptible patients.

Tablet for oral use. Take as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow with water; do not stop abruptly without medical advice.

dizziness, headache, fatigue, low blood pressure, nausea, diarrhoea, back pain, increased potassium (hyperkalaemia), raised creatinine

Contraindicated in pregnancy—can harm the unborn baby. Use caution in kidney disease, liver impairment, dehydration/low salt states, heart failure, and in elderly. Monitor blood pressure, kidney function and serum potassium, especially after starting or dose changes. Risk of hyperkalaemia; avoid potassium supplements/salt substitutes unless advised. Not recommended with aliskiren in diabetics; use caution with bilateral renal artery stenosis.

ACE inhibitors (e.g., enalapril/ramipril), aliskiren, potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone/amiloride), NSAIDs (ibuprofen/diclofenac) may reduce effect and worsen kidney function, lithium (increased toxicity), diuretics (may increase first-dose hypotension)
