How It Works
Telmisartan blocks the action of angiotensin II by selectively binding to AT1 receptors. This mechanism relaxes blood vessels, reduces aldosterone production, and lowers blood pressure. Its long half-life ensures sustained blood pressure control throughout the day.
Duration of Action
Initial effects begin within 2-3 hours after administration. Peak plasma concentrations are achieved in 0.5-1 hour. The long half-life of 24 hours enables once-daily dosing. Full therapeutic effect is typically seen within 4-8 weeks.
Dosage
Starting dose: 40mg once daily
Maximum dose: 80mg once daily
Take at the same time each day
Can be taken with or without food
Dose adjustments based on blood pressure response
