Telmisartan 40mg 90 tabs

Product Details:

• Active Ingredient: Telmisartan
• Strength: 40 mg per tablet
• Quantity: 90 tablets
• Drug Class: Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB)
• Primary Uses: Hypertension management, cardiovascular protection, kidney protection in diabetics

How It Works:

Telmisartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a natural substance that narrows blood vessels. By preventing angiotensin II from binding to its receptors, Telmisartan relaxes blood vessels, reduces blood pressure, and improves blood flow. Lowering blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. It may also reduce proteinuria in patients with diabetic kidney disease.
