telmisartan

Telmisartan is a medication used to lower high blood pressure (hypertension). It works by blocking a substance in the body called angiotensin II, which normally narrows blood vessels. By blocking this substance, telmisartan helps blood vessels relax and widen, making it easier for blood to flow and reducing strain on the heart. This can help prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. It’s typically taken once a day and is prescribed by healthcare providers to manage blood pressure effectively and protect cardiovascular health.
