Micatel Tablet 20 mg contains Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and for reducing cardiovascular risk in appropriate patients. It helps relax and widen blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and improving overall circulation.

Telmisartan selectively blocks the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors. Angiotensin II is a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict and increases blood pressure. By inhibiting its action, Micatel helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels and reduces strain on the heart and kidneys.

Dosage and Administration

• The usual starting dose is 20 mg once daily, depending on patient condition.

• May be taken with or without food.

• Dose adjustments should be made based on clinical response and medical guidance.

• Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels is recommended.

Mechanism of Action

Telmisartan blocks the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors in blood vessels and adrenal glands. This leads to vasodilation, reduced aldosterone secretion, decreased sodium retention, and ultimately a reduction in blood pressure.

Safety Information

Contraindications:

• Hypersensitivity to telmisartan or any component of the formulation.

• Pregnancy, particularly during the second and third trimesters.

Warnings and precautions:

• Monitor renal function and serum potassium levels.

• Use cautiously in patients with renal artery stenosis or severe liver impairment.

• May cause dizziness or lightheadedness, especially after the first dose.

If pregnancy occurs during treatment, discontinue immediately and consult a healthcare provider.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
