TELMODOR 80 10'S

About

TELMODOR 80 contains Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), at a higher therapeutic dose. It is primarily used for the effective management of essential hypertension, particularly in patients who require more intensive blood pressure control or have not achieved target blood pressure with lower doses of ARBs. Telmisartan works by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor, preventing its potent vasoconstrictive and aldosterone-secreting effects. This blockade leads to significant vasodilation, reduced peripheral vascular resistance, and a sustained decrease in blood pressure. Furthermore, Telmisartan is also indicated for cardiovascular risk reduction in high-risk patients, offering a comprehensive approach to managing both blood pressure and associated cardiovascular complications.
