Product Overview
About AG-TELMISARTAN
AG-TELMISARTAN is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Telmisartan, a non-peptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB). It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to protect the kidneys from damage due to diabetes.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults and children aged 6 years and above.
- Protection of the kidneys from damage due to diabetes in adults.
Active Ingredient & Action
Telmisartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, which is a part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). This leads to vasodilation, reduced peripheral resistance, and decreased blood pressure. Additionally, Telmisartan has a protective effect on the kidneys by reducing proteinuria and slowing the progression of renal disease.
Important Notes
AG-TELMISARTAN should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with a history of angioedema, bilateral renal artery stenosis, or severe heart failure. Patients with kidney disease or liver impairment should use this medication with caution. Common side effects may include dizziness, fatigue, and nausea. It is essential to follow the recommended dosage and inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking.
