Description

Telmisartan stands out as a reliable and scientifically-backed solution for managing hypertension and supporting long-term cardiovascular health. Unlike other blood pressure medications, Telmisartan specifically targets angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. By blocking its effects, this medication helps your blood vessels relax and widen, promoting better circulation and lowering blood pressure.

This 40mg formulation is ideal for adults seeking a once-daily treatment that fits seamlessly into their routine. Each pack contains 28 tablets, ensuring you have a full month’s supply to maintain consistent results. Telmisartan is not just about managing numbers on a blood pressure monitor; it’s about reducing your risk of serious complications like stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage. However, it is not suitable for pregnant women or those planning pregnancies, as it may affect foetal development.
