Telmisartan
Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) commonly prescribed for managing high blood pressure, heart failure, and certain kidney conditions.
- Telmisartan works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict which helps relax blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. Its unique profile can also provide metabolic benefits, given its partial agonism on PPAR-gamma receptors2.
