About Telmisartan 80 mg

Telmistrum 80 is a potent medication designed to help manage high blood pressure (hypertension). Containing the active ingredient Telmisartan 80 mg, this medication belongs to the class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). By effectively controlling blood pressure, Telmistrum 80 reduces the risk of severe cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes, contributing to overall heart health and improved quality of life.

Key Benefits:

• Effective Blood Pressure Control: Telmistrum 80 significantly lowers high blood pressure, reducing the strain on your heart and arteries.

• Cardiovascular Health: By managing hypertension, Telmistrum 80 reduces the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes.

• Kidney Protection: Telmisartan has been shown to provide kidney protection in patients with type 2 diabetes or hypertension, slowing the progression of kidney disease.

• Improved Quality of Life: Regular use can help alleviate symptoms associated with high blood pressure, such as headaches, dizziness, and shortness of breath, leading to a better overall quality of life.

How Does It Work?

Telmisartan, the active ingredient in Telmistrum 80, works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten and narrow. By inhibiting the effects of angiotensin II, Telmisartan allows blood vessels to relax and widen, which helps lower blood pressure and improves blood flow. This reduction in blood pressure decreases the workload on the heart and reduces the risk of cardiovascular events.
