Telma 40 mg is a prescription treatment for patients with hypertension (high blood pressure). It contains the active ingredient Telmisartan, which is categorized under the class of medications known as angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Angiotensin II is a substance released by the body that causes the narrowing of blood vessels, thus increasing blood pressure. Telmisartan restricts the action of angiotensin II, causing blood vessels to relax and lowering elevated blood pressure levels. If left untreated, hypertension can cause internal damage to the blood vessels of several organs, which could give rise to heart attack, kidney failure, stroke, or blindness. People with high blood pressure do not show any symptoms before damage occurs. This is why it is important to regularly measure blood pressure and check whether it is in the normal range.

How to use Telma 40mg? (infographics and instructions)
The usual effective dose of Telmisartan pill is 40 mg once a day. In cases where the desired blood pressure control is not achieved, the Telma dose can be increased to 80 mg once daily. Alternatively, an antihypertensive agent may be used along with hydrochlorothiazide (a diuretic), which is known to cause an additive blood pressure-lowering effect with Telma. The maximum antihypertensive effect is generally achieved four to eight weeks after initiating the treatment. The medication may be taken before or after consuming food with a glass of water. Do not chew, break, or crush the tablet. A lower dose of 20 mg or 40 mg of Telma is recommended in patients with kidney diseases. In patients with mild to moderate liver conditions, Telmisartan should not exceed 40 mg once a day.
