Telmisartan is typically taken once a day, either with or without food. It is important to take it regularly to get the most benefit. Your doctor will likely start you on a low dose and gradually increase it if necessary.
In addition to lowering blood pressure, telmisartan may have other health benefits. It has been studied for its potential to improve resistance, reduce inflammation, and protect against cardiovascular disease. However, further research is needed to fully understand these potential benefits.
PART B: Medicine Functions
As with any medication, telmisartan may cause side effects. Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, and stomach pain. Serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions, kidney problems, and low blood pressure. If you experience any concerning side effects while taking telmisartan, you should contact your doctor right away.
