Introduction

Telmicard 40 is a medicine used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease. Lowering blood pressure helps to prevent future heart attack and stroke. This medicine is also effective in preserving kidney function in patients with diabetes. Telmicard 40 can be prescribed either alone or in combination with other medicines. It may be taken with or without food during the day or at night. However, try to take it at the same time each day to get the most benefit. It is important to continue taking it regularly even if you feel well or if your blood pressure is controlled. Most people with high blood pressure do not feel ill, but if you stop taking this medicine, your condition could get worse. This is a widely used medicine and is considered safe for long-term use. Making some changes in your lifestyle will also help lower your blood pressure. These may include regular exercise, losing weight, smoking cessation, reducing alcohol intake, and reducing the amount of salt in your diet as advised by your doctor. This medicine is tolerated well by most patients and has few side effects. Dizziness, particularly after the first dose, is known to occur in some people. This may be associated with headache. Let your doctor know if these side effects bother you or do not go away. No weight gain has been seen with the regular use of this medicine. Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have any kidney or liver problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers should also consult their doctor before taking it.

How Telmicard 40 works

Brief Description

Hypertension in adults, Reduction of cardiovascular morbidity in adults with atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease, (history of coronary heart disease, stroke, or peripheral arterial disease), Type 2 diabetes mellitus, with documented target organ damage.

Administration

May be taken with or without food.

Adult Dose

Oral Hypertension Adult: Dosage must be individualized. The usual starting dose of Telmisartan tablets is 40 mg once a day. Blood pressure response is dose-related over the range of 20 to 80 mg. Most of the anti hypertensive effect is apparent within 2 weeks and maximal reduction is generally attained after 4 weeks. When additional blood pressure reduction beyond that achieved with 80 mg Telmisartans is required, may switch to combination, a diuretic may be added. Telmisartan tablets may be administered with other antihypertensive agents. Initial therapy with Telmisartan is not recommended in patients >75 years old or with hepatic impairment Elderly: No initial dosage adjustment is necessary for elderly patients. Cardiovascular risk reduction Adult:The recommended dose of telmisartan tablets is 80 mg once a day. It is not known whether doses lower than 80 mg of telmisartan are effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. When initiating telmisartan therapy for cardiovascular risk reduction, monitoring of blood pressure is recommended, and if appropriate, adjustment of medications that lower blood pressure may be necessary. Hepatic impairment: Initial therapy with telmisartan is not recommended in patients ?75 years old or with hepatic impairment.

Contraindication

Mode of Action

Telmisartan blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor in many tissues, such as vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland. Its action is therefore independent of the pathways for angiotensin II synthesis.

Precaution
