Usage

Micardis (Telmisartan) is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It's also indicated to lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, and cardiovascular-related death in patients aged 55 and older (source). The active ingredient, telmisartan, is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), also known as an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. It works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure. Telmisartan helps relax blood vessels and prevents the kidneys from retaining excess sodium and fluid, thereby lowering blood pressure. It is used typically for people with high blood pressure, especially those who cannot tolerate other blood pressure medications.

It is crucial to take the medication exactly as your doctor prescribes or refer to the prescribing information. Please consult with your doctor for personalized advice.
