Telmisartan 20mg is an antihypertensive medication belonging to the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) class. It works by relaxing blood vessels, which helps lower blood pressure and improves blood flow, reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage in patients with hypertension or cardiovascular risks. Telmisartan is also indicated to reduce the progression of kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension. It is generally well-tolerated and can be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
