Telmisartan is a non-peptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Angiotensin II is formed through a reaction catalyzed by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and is a key component of the renin-angiotensin system, causing vasoconstriction, aldosterone synthesis and release, cardiac stimulation, and sodium reabsorption by the kidneys. Telmisartan selectively blocks angiotensin II from binding to AT1 receptors in various tissues, such as vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland, thereby preventing its vasoconstrictive and aldosterone-secreting effects.
Telmisartan has a significantly higher affinity (>3,000 times) for the AT1 receptor than the AT2 receptor. Since Telmisartan does not inhibit ACE, it does not interfere with bradykinin response. Additionally, it does not bind to or block other hormone receptors or ion channels involved in cardiovascular regulation.

- Usual Starting Dose: 40 mg once daily. The antihypertensive effect is dose-dependent in the range of 20 to 80 mg.
- Maximum Effectiveness: Usually observed within 4 weeks. Combination therapy may be considered for additional blood pressure reduction beyond 80 mg.
- Special Populations:
- No initial dosage adjustment is required for elderly patients or those with renal impairment, including patients on hemodialysis. However, blood pressure should be monitored closely as orthostatic hypotension may occur.
- Patients with biliary obstructive disorders or hepatic insufficiency should be carefully monitored, and dose adjustments should be made gradually.
Pediatric Use: Safety and efficacy have not been established in pediatric patients.
Geriatric Use: No significant differences in safety or effectiveness compared to younger adults.
✔️ Administration:
- May be taken with or without food.
- Initial therapy with Tems is not recommended for patients aged ≥75 years or those with hepatic impairment.

- Lactation: Consider discontinuing breastfeeding or the drug, based on its importance to the mother.
✔️ Precautions & Warnings
- Avoid exposure to the drug during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Use caution in patients with hepatic or renal impairment.
- Monitor patients for hypotension.
