Telmisartan

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps lower blood pressure by preventing angiotensin II from binding to its receptors. This relaxes blood vessels and reduces the effects of hormones that contribute to increased blood pressure.

Telmisartan is primarily used to treat hypertension and may also be prescribed in selected patients to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
