How does Telmisaetan 20mg Tablet Works?
Telmisartan is a non-peptide angiotensin II antagonist that inhibits the binding of angiotensin II to AT 1 receptors in vascular smooth muscles and adrenal glands. Angiotensin II stimulates the adrenal cortex to synthesize and secrete aldosterone, sodium decreases, and sodium increases and stimulates the adrenal cortex to synthesize and secrete aldosterone, sodium concentration decreases, and sodium concentration increases.
Telmisartan blocks receptors in your body that bind to a hormone called angiotensin II. Angiotensin II binds to these receptors and causes blood vessels to harden. Blocking these receptors helps the blood vessels to move more easily. It can lower blood pressure and reduce heart disease and stroke.
Uses of Telmisartan 20mg Tablets
- Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Telmisartan 20mg tablet is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by relaxing the substance in the body that makes blood vessels harden. As a result, telmisartan relaxes the blood vessels. This thins the blood and increases blood and oxygen supply to the heart.
- Heart Failure: Telmisartan is also used to lower the risk of heart attacks or stroke. It works by blocking a hormone that narrows blood vessels, making blood flow easier and increasing the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. It can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart disease.
- Cardiovascular Risk Reduction: In some cases, telmisartan is prescribed to reduce the risk of heart problems, such as heart attack or stroke, especially in patients with pre-existing diseases or diabetes.
- Diabetic Nephropathy: For patients with type 2 diabetes who have kidney damage (diabetic nephropathy), telmisartan helps protect kidney function by lowering blood pressure and reducing proteinuria (protein in the urine).
