What Is Telmisartan 40mg?
Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking the hormone angiotensin II, helping lower blood pressure. It is FDA-approved to treat hypertension and to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death in certain high-risk adults who cannot take ACE inhibitors. If you are researching telmisartan amlodipine cost, note that telmisartan is also available combined with amlodipine (brand Twynsta) for patients who need two medications; this page covers telmisartan 40mg tablets alone. It is taken once daily, with or without food.
