WHAT KINZALMONO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Kinzalmono belongs to a class of medicines known as angiotensin II
receptor antagonists.
Angiotensin II is a substance produced in your body which causes your
blood vessels to narrow, thus
increasing your blood pressure. Kinzalmono blocks the effect of
angiotensin II so that the blood
vessels relax, and your blood pressure is lowered.
KINZALMONO IS USED TO treat essential hypertension (high blood
pressure) in adults. ‘Essential’ means
that the high blood pressure is not caused by any other condition.
High blood pressure, if not treated, can damage blood vessels in
several organs, which could lead
sometimes to heart attack, heart or kidney failure, stroke, or
blindness. There are usually no symptoms
of high blood pressure before damage occurs. Thus it is important to
regularly measure blood pressure
to verify if it is within the normal range.
KINZALMONO IS ALSO USED TO reduce cardiovascular events (i.e. heart
attack or stroke) in adults who
are at risk because they have a reduced or blocked blood supply to the
heart or legs, or have had a
stroke or have high risk diabetes. Your doctor can

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Treatment of essential hypertension_
The usually effective dose is 40 mg once daily. Some patients may
already benefit at a daily dose of
20 mg. In cases where the target blood pressure is not achieved, the
dose of telmisartan can be
increased to a maximum of 80 mg once daily. Alternatively, telmisartan
may be used in combination
with thiazide-type diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide, which has
been shown to have an additive
blood pressure lowering effect with telmisartan. When considering
raising the dose, it must be borne
in mind that the maximum antihypertensive effect is generally at
