Indications
Telmivas Tablet is indicated for:
-
Essential hypertension (moderate to severe)
-
Reduction of cardiovascular risk in high-risk patients

Protection of kidney function in hypertensive diabetic patients

Long-term management of elevated blood pressure
Mechanism of Action
Telmisartan selectively blocks angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors. Angiotensin II is a powerful vasoconstrictor that increases blood pressure by narrowing blood vessels and stimulating aldosterone release. By blocking these receptors, Telmisartan causes vasodilation, reduces fluid retention, and lowers blood pressure, helping protect the heart, brain, and kidneys.
