1. WHAT TELMISARTAN ROWEX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR_ _
Telmisartan Rowex 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. Telmisartan Rowex blocks the effect of
angiotensin II so that the
blood vessels relax, and your blood pressure is lowered.
Telmisartan Rowex 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.
TELMISARTAN ROWEX IS ALSO USED TO reduce cardiovascular events (i.e.
heart attack or stroke) in adults
who are at risk because they hav

4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Hypertension
Treatment of essential hypertension in adults.
Cardiovascular prevention
Reduction of cardiovascular morbidity in adults with:
manifest atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease (history of coronary
heart disease, stroke, or peripheral arterial
disease) or
type 2 diabetes mellitus with documented target organ damage
4.2 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 attained
four to eight weeks after the start of treatment (see section 5.1).
Cardiovascular prevention
The recommended dose is 80 mg once daily. It is not known whether
doses lower than 80 mg of telmisartan are
effective in reducing cardiovascular morbidity.
