What it is used for: Hypertension.

Indications as listed by the manufacturer: Telmisartan is indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension. It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.

How it works: Angiotensin II is formed from angiotensin I in a reaction catalyzed by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE, kininase II). Angiotensin II is the principal pressor agent of the renin-angiotensin system, with effects that include vasoconstriction, stimulation of synthesis and release of aldosterone, cardiac stimulation and renal reabsorption of sodium. Telmisartan blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor in many tissues, such as vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland. Its action is therefore independent of the pathways for angiotensin II synthesis. Telmisartan has much greater affinity (>3,000 fold) for the AT1 receptor than for the AT2 receptor. Blockade of renin-angiotensin system with ACE inhibitors, inhibits the biosynthesis of angiotensin II from angiotensin I and is widely used in the treatment of hypertension.

Active ingredient: Telmisartan.

Reported side effects: Common: Symptoms of infection (e.g., urinary tract infections including cystitis), upper respiratory tract infections including pharyngitis and sinusitis, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dyspepsia, eczema, arthralgia, back pain (e.g., sciatica), muscle spasms or pain in extremity, myalgia, chest pain and influenza-like illness. Uncommon: Anxiety, visual disturbance, vertigo, dry mouth, flatulence, hyperhidrosis and tendonitis. Rare: Stomach discomfort.
