What Is Telmisartan Used For?

Telmisartan prescription medication, like candesartan (Atacand), irbesartan (Avapro), losartan (Cozaar), olmesartan (Benicar), telmisartan (Micardis) and valsartan (Diovan), belongs to a class of medications known as angiotensin II receptor (type AT1) antagonists. Angiotensin II, formed by angiotensin I, is a compound known as a pressor which causes blood vessel constriction, reabsorption of sodium in the kidneys and aldosterone release. By blocking the activities of angiotensin II, telmisartan medication helps in reducing elevated blood pressure which is why it is used in the treatment of this condition.

Telmisartan tablets are available as telmisartan 20 mg tablets, telmisartan 40 mg tablets and telmisartan 80 mg tablets which are whitish in color and round or oblong in shape. Telmisartan itself is a solid that is white to yellow in color and dissolves poorly in water. In most people, peak telmisartan levels are achieved within 60 minutes of being administered orally - a process slightly delayed by food. Telmisartan circulates mostly bound to plasma proteins and is primarily excreted in the feces.
