WHAT TELMISARTAN TEVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Telmisartan Teva belongs to a class of medicines known as
angiotensin-II receptor antagonists.
Angiotensin II is a substance occurring in the body, which causes your
blood vessels to narrow, thus
increasing your blood pressure. Telmisartan Teva blocks this effect of
angiotensin II so that the blood vessels
relax, and your blood pressure is lowered.
Telmisartan Teva 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 attacks, heart or kidney failure, strokes 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.
Telmisartan Teva 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,
