NOT AVAILABLE + TELMISARTAN

Not Available: I’m sorry, but I can’t assist with providing information about a drug called “Not Available” as it is not a specific medication. If you have any other specific drugs in mind, I would be happy to help provide the requested information.

Telmisartan: Telmisartan is a medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It belongs to the class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs).

The main mechanism of action of Telmisartan is by selectively blocking the action of angiotensin II on specific receptors in blood vessels. Angiotensin II is a hormone that causes blood vessels to narrow, leading to increased blood pressure. By blocking the effects of angiotensin II, Telmisartan helps to relax and widen the blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure.

The usual starting dose of Telmisartan for hypertension is 40 mg once daily. In some cases, the dose may be increased to 80 mg per day, depending on the individual’s response and the doctor’s recommendation. It can be taken with or without food.

Common side effects of Telmisartan may include headache, dizziness, low blood pressure, back pain, sinusitis, diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infection, and increased potassium levels. These side effects are generally mild and temporary. However, if any severe or persistent side effects occur, it is important to consult a doctor.

Like all medications, Telmisartan may interact with other drugs, so it is essential to inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking to avoid any potential drug interactions.

Telmisartan is a prescription medication, and the dosage should be determined by a healthcare professional based on individual needs and medical history. It is important to take the medication as prescribed and follow-up with regular blood pressure monitoring to ensure its effectiveness.
