Teslar Tablet 80 mg contains Telmisartan, a long-acting angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used for the effective management of hypertension and prevention of cardiovascular complications.

Indications

Teslar Tablet 80 mg is indicated for:

• Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Reduction of risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke
• Protection of kidney function in hypertensive patients, particularly those with diabetes

It can be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive medications for optimal results.

Mechanism of Action

Telmisartan works by selectively blocking angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors. This leads to:

• Relaxation and dilation of blood vessels
• Decreased secretion of aldosterone
• Reduced retention of sodium and water

These actions help lower blood pressure, improve circulation, and reduce workload on the heart.
