What Experts Say
Telmisartan belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin receptor blockers, which relax blood vessels so the heart does not have to work as hard. Doctors in Pakistan often choose it for patients who cannot tolerate ACE inhibitors due to a persistent dry cough. It works by blocking a hormone called angiotensin II that normally tightens blood vessels and raises blood pressure.
Blood pressure control with this medicine usually improves within two weeks, though full effect can take up to a month. Regular blood pressure checks at home, along with reduced salt intake, help the medicine work better and lower the risk of heart and kidney complications.
This medicine should not be used during pregnancy, since it can seriously harm the unborn baby, especially in the second and third trimesters. Doctors also check kidney function and blood potassium levels periodically, particularly in people with existing kidney disease or diabetes.
