Telmisartan
Generic alternative to Micardis
Telmisartan is a medication primarily used for the treatment of high blood pressure and cardiovascular risk reduction. It belongs to the class of drugs known as angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), which work by relaxing blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow.
How is this medication used?
Telmisartan is usually taken once a day, with or without food. It's important to take this medication consistently at the same time each day to maintain its blood pressure-lowering effect. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of telmisartan include dizziness, lightheadedness, and fatigue. Less common side effects may include upper respiratory infection, diarrhea, and back pain. Serious side effects can occur but are rare, including kidney problems, liver problems, and severe allergic reactions.
What are the potential interactions?
Telmisartan can interact with other medications, such as lithium, drugs that increase potassium levels (like ACE inhibitors, potassium supplements, or salt substitutes containing potassium), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Before starting telmisartan, inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
