Composition

• Active Ingredient: Telmisartan 80 mg

Therapeutic Class

• Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) / Antihypertensive

Pharmacology

Telmisartan selectively blocks the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor responsible for increasing blood pressure and stimulating aldosterone secretion, which leads to sodium and water retention. By inhibiting these effects, telmisartan causes vasodilation, reduces peripheral vascular resistance, and lowers blood pressure.
Telmisartan has a long duration of action, providing effective 24-hour blood pressure control with once-daily dosing. It does not inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), thus avoiding side effects such as persistent cough commonly associated with ACE inhibitors.
