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...

How to use Tems 20

How Tems 20 works
Tems 20 is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It relaxes blood vessels by blocking the action of a chemical that usually makes blood vessels tighter. This lowers the blood pressure, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly to different organs and the heart to pump more efficiently.
What if you forget to take Tems 20?
If you miss a dose of Tems 20, skip it and continue with your normal schedule. Do not double the dose.
Quick Tips
- Take it at the same time every day to help you remember to take it.
- It can make you feel dizzy for the first few days. Rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down for a long time.
- Your doctor may get regular test done to monitor the level of urea, creatinine, and potassium in your blood.
- Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen, along with Tems 20 without consulting your doctor.
- It may increase the level of potassium in blood. Avoid taking potassium supplements and potassium-rich foods such as bananas, coconut water and broccoli.
Brief Description
Indication
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...

Renal Dose
Renal impairment:
No initial dosage adjustment is required for patients with mild to moderate renal impairment. Titrate slowly in patients with severe renal impairment.
Patients on dialysis may develop orthostatic hypotension; their blood pressure should be closely monitored.
Contraindication
Severe hepatic impairment, biliary obstructive disorders. Pregnancy. Lactation.
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
Avoid fetal or neonatal exposure, Hypotension, Monitor carefully in patients with impaired hepatic or renal function, Avoid concomitant use of an ACE inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker.
Hepatic insufficiency, biliary obstruction, renal impairment, renaly artery stenosis. Correct volume depletion before initiating treatment. Monitor serum potassium levels regularly, especially in elderly and renally-impaired patients.
Side Effect
1-10%
Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) (7%),Back pain (3%),Diarrhea (3%),Myalgia (3%),Sinusitis (3%),Chest pain (1%),Hypertension (1%),Headache (1%),Dizziness (1%),Pharyngitis (1%)

Potentially Fatal: Rarely angioedema, rash, pruritus and urticaria.
Pregnancy Category Note
Pregnancy category: 1st trimester, C; 2nd and 3rd trimesters, D
Interaction
May increase plasma levels of digoxin. May increase serum lithium levels and toxicity. May reduce plasma levels of warfarin. Increased risk of hyperkalaemia w/ K-sparing diuretics, K supplements or K-containing salt substitutes. May antagonise hypotensive effect and increase risk of renal impairment w/ NSAIDs.
Potentially Fatal: May increase nephrotoxic, hyperkalaemic and hypotensive effect w/ aliskiren in patients w/ diabetes and renal impairment (GFR <60 mL/min).
