Used For:

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used primarily to treat:

• High blood pressure (hypertension): Helps reduce the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
• Cardiovascular risk reduction: Lowers the risk of heart attacks or strokes in patients at high cardiovascular risk.
• Management of certain kidney conditions: Associated with diabetes or hypertension.

Common side effects include:

• Dizziness or lightheadedness (especially after standing up).
• Fatigue or weakness.
• Nausea.

Less common but more serious side effects:

• Low blood pressure (hypotension).
• Increased potassium levels (hyperkalemia), leading to symptoms like muscle weakness or irregular heartbeat.
• Kidney problems (reduced urine output or swelling in the extremities).
• Rare allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of face or throat).

Precautions:

• Allergic Reactions: Avoid if allergic to Telmisartan or similar medications.
• Pregnancy: Do not use during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, as it may harm the fetus.
• Kidney Function: Monitor kidney function regularly, especially in patients with pre-existing kidney conditions.
• Potassium Levels: Avoid potassium supplements or potassium-rich diets unless recommended by a doctor.
• Low Blood Pressure: Use cautiously in patients who are volume-depleted (e.g., due to diuretics or dehydration).
• Liver Disease: Dose adjustments may be necessary for patients with liver impairment.
