Telmisartan in Kalaburagi, 40 mg

Telmisartan (brand name: Telford) is a prescription medication used primarily to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to help protect the heart and kidneys in certain patients. It belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), which work by relaxing blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily, thereby lowering blood pressure. By managing hypertension, Telmisartan reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems. It is also sometimes prescribed for patients with heart failure or those at high risk of cardiovascular events. Telford is typically taken once daily, with or without food, and it is important to take it regularly as prescribed by a doctor. Common side effects may include dizziness, fatigue, or back pain, especially when starting the medication. Patients should not stop taking Telmisartan suddenly without medical advice, as this may worsen their condition. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function is recommended during treatment.
