Product Information
Angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) antagonists like Telmisartan are selective and orally active. They reduce end organ responses to angiotensin II by inhibiting the AT1 receptor. This reduces total peripheral resistance and cardiac venous return. The effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors like nitric oxide (NO) generation, vasodilation, antiproliferative effects, and anti-inflammatory effects are also mediated via the AT1 receptor inhibition. Telmisartan is a lipophilic drug that crosses the blood-brain barrier and reaches higher concentrations in the brain than hydrophilic drugs. Unlike ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists do not have sexual dimorphism with regard to pharmacokinetics.

Tailoring Treatment for Optimal Health, Prescribed Medication Dosage is:
Overdosing on Telmisartan can cause symptoms that affect the stomach and kidneys, including nausea, stomach pain, low blood pressure, and kidney problems. Although these symptoms are not life-threatening, it is highly recommended that you seek emergency medical care if you believe you have overdosed. In the emergency room, doctors will conduct a gastric lavage to pump the stomach and remove the extra medication. They may also provide activated charcoal to prevent further absorption of the telmisartan. In more severe cases, dialysis may be necessary to remove the drug from the blood. The healthcare team will provide supportive care and focus on managing symptoms to ensure the patient is stable and comfortable. If you are concerned about an excessive dose of telmisartan or any other medication, please contact your healthcare provider or seek emergency medical care immediately.
If you miss a dose of Telmisartan, it is important to take it as soon as you remember. However, if you remember the missed dose close to the time of your next scheduled dose, it is recommended to skip the missed dose altogether instead of taking double to make up for it. Maintaining a regular dosage schedule ensures you get the maximum benefits from Telmisartan. If you have any concerns or questions about missing a dose, it is best to consult with your healthcare provider for guidance on your specific situation.
Before starting Telmisartan 40mg, ensure you read the medication guide provided by your pharmacist, and if you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Telmisartan is usually taken once a day with or without food. Unlike other medications, the effectiveness of Telmisartan does not significantly alter whether you take it with or without food, so consistent consumption is more crucial than meal timing. Remember to swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew the tablet, as it can alter the drug release and lead to side effects. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible unless it is closer to the time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue on your regular schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up. While it is important to take Telmisartan as directed, it is also important to remember that if you feel it necessary to change your dosage or frequency, you should consult your doctor first as they may modify the dosage over time based on your blood pressure response and overall tolerance to the medication. Ensure you monitor your blood pressure regularly, as directed by your doctor, to ensure the medication is working effectively and the dose is appropriately adjusted. If you experience any severe side effects, seek medical attention immediately. These may include severe allergic reactions, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or signs of anaphylaxis. Remember that it is important to adhere to the regimen provided by your healthcare provider when taking Telmisartan 40mg.
