What Is Telmisartan 80mg?
Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels so blood can flow more easily, which helps lower blood pressure. It is FDA-approved to treat hypertension and to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes in adults 55 and older who cannot take ACE inhibitors. Telmisartan is also available in a fixed-dose combination with amlodipine (Twynsta); shoppers searching for the telmisartan amlodipine price are usually comparing that combination product. Telmisartan 80mg is taken as one tablet by mouth once daily, with or without food.
