Overview
Teleact 80mg Tablet contains telmisartan 80mg, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events (such as heart attack or stroke) in adults at high cardiovascular risk who cannot take ACE inhibitors.
Telmisartan works by blocking the AT1 receptor, preventing angiotensin II – a hormone that narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure – from exerting its effects. This allows blood vessels to relax and widen, lowering blood pressure.
How it Works
By selectively blocking the AT1 angiotensin II receptor on blood vessel walls, telmisartan prevents angiotensin II from causing blood vessel constriction and sodium/fluid retention, resulting in vasodilation and a sustained reduction in blood pressure.
Directions for Use
Take Teleact 80mg Tablet once daily at about the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet with a glass of water. Do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well, since high blood pressure often has no symptoms.
Dosage
The usual adult dose is 80mg once daily, which your doctor may adjust based on your blood pressure response, up to a maximum of 80mg once daily. Some patients start at a lower dose before being titrated upward.
