Telmisartan

Telmisartan: Action, Indications, dose, and Brands

Medicines

Telmisartan is an orally active- angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB). It is used to treat hypertension, diabetic nephropathy, and congestive heart failure.

 Quick facts- Telmisartan

  • Drug Category–angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB).
  • Availability– Tablets of strengths- 20, 40, and 80 mg.
  • Usual Dose– 40-80 mg once daily.
  • Take this medicine before or after a meal.
  • Is it safe in pregnancy?- It is classified as a ‘Category C’ Drug. It means it should be given if required and has the potential benefit of justifying risk to the fetus.
  • When is it not prescribed?- 
    • Renal artery stenosis- a narrowing of arteries that carry blood to the kidneys.
    • pregnancy
    • Hyperkalemia- a higher level of potassium level.
  • Are there any side effects? – Cough, angioedema (edema/swelling of the lower layer of skin)
  • If there is an overdose, what are the signs? Hypotension, dizziness, and irregular heart rhythm (tachycardia, bradycardia).

How does it work?

Angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor, which increases vascular resistance and causes an increase in blood pressure. Telmisartan blocks the binding of angiotensin II to the angiotensin II AT1-receptors. Thus, Telmisartan helps to reduce hypertension.

Telmisartan is also known to improve carbohydrate and lipid metabolism partially. It thus helps to control insulin resistance without causing side effects.

What are the uses of Telmisartan?

Hypertension
Heart Failure
Congestive Heart Failure
Diabetic nephropathy in Hypertensive patients

    FDA

    Heart failure occurs when the heart does not pump enough blood to support the body’s needs. Farxiga is approved to treat class II-IV heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Farxiga is a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor.  The clinical trial shows improved survival and reduced the need for hospitalization in adults with heart failure. 

    Farxiga is also FDA-approved to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.
