TELMICON-20 MG TAB is a medication containing Telmisartan 20 mg, which belongs to the class of Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs). It is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events like strokes and heart attacks. By blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels, Telmisartan helps in relaxing the blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow. This medication is also beneficial in protecting the kidneys in patients with diabetes and high blood pressure. Common side effects may include dizziness, fatigue, and headache. It should be taken as prescribed, usually once daily, with or without food. Patients should inform their doctor if they have kidney, liver, or heart conditions before using this medicine. Always follow your doctor's advice regarding dosage and any potential interactions with other medications.
