About this medicine
Telma 40 Tablet is an anti-hypertensive medication used to treat mild to moderate high blood pressure. High BP often develops silently and can damage the heart, kidneys, brain, and blood vessels over time. Telma 40 helps prevent this by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow smoothly and reducing strain on the heart. It can be prescribed alone or combined with other BP medicines when additional control is required.
In addition to lowering blood pressure, Telma 40 Tablet also offers added protection against serious cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. It is especially helpful for adults aged 55 years or above, individuals with a history of heart disease, stroke, or artery problems, and people with type 2 diabetes who already have organ damage affecting the eyes, kidneys, or heart.
How to use
Uses and Benefits of Telma 40 Tablet:
Here are the primary uses of Telma 40 Tablet include-
• Effectively lowers high blood pressure (hypertension) by relaxing blood vessels, reducing the workload on the heart.
• Helps prevent cardiovascular complications, such as heart attacks and strokes, especially in patients with existing heart or vessel conditions.
How Telma 40 Tablet Works:
Telmisartan in Telma 40 Tablet acts as an Angiotensin II receptor blocker. Angiotensin II is a hormone that normally tightens blood vessels and raises blood pressure. By blocking this hormone’s action, Telma 40 relaxes blood vessels, promoting smoother blood flow and making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
By reducing the tightness in the blood vessels, Telma 40 helps bring down high blood pressure and protects important organs like the heart and kidneys from long-term damage.
