What is Telmisartan?
|
|
Telmisartan
is used alone or in combination with other
medications to treat high blood pressure.
Telmisartan is in a class of medications called
angiotensin II receptor antagonists. It works by
blocking the action of certain chemicals that
tighten the blood vessels, so blood flows more
smoothly.

The history of Telmisartan
|
|
Telmisartan was approved by the FDA in November of 2000
|
|
|
|
What is Telmisartan used for?
|
|
Telmisartan is a member of
a family of drugs called angiotensin receptor
blockers (ARBs), which includes losartan (Cozaar), valsartan (Diovan), irbesartan (Avapro), and candesartan (Atacand). ARBs block the ability of the chemical
angiotensin II to constrict or squeeze arteries and
veins. As a result, the arteries and veins enlarge
and blood pressure falls. The reduced pressure in
the arteries also makes it easier for the heart to
pump blood.
