Telmicard^®

Telmicard^® contains the active substance telmisartan.

Telmicard^® belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Angiotensin-II is a substance that is produced in the body and causes the blood vessels to become narrower. This increases blood pressure. Telmicard^® blocks the action of angiotensin-II so that the blood vessels relax and blood pressure drops.

Telmicard^® is used to treat high blood pressure (essential hypertension) in adults.

Telmicard^® is also used to reduce cardiovascular disease (e.g. heart attack or stroke) in adults at risk.
