INTRODUCTION
TELMED 20MG contain Telmisartan which belongs to a group of medicine called angiotensin II receptor antagonists, a substance produced in your body which makes your blood vessels to narrow, thus increasing your blood pressure. This medicine works by blocking the effect of angiotensin II so that the blood vessels relax, and your blood pressure gets lowered. It is also used to decrease the chance of heart attack, stroke, in people who are at high risks for cardiovascular disease.

Heart attack occur when an artery supplying your heart with blood and oxygen become blocked. Fatty deposit over time forms plaques in your heart’s arteries which when ruptures forms a blood clot. This blood clot can block your arteries, causing a heart attack. Stroke is a condition where the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced which prevents brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. TELMED 20MG decrease the chance of heart attack, stroke, in people who are at high risks for cardiovascular disease.
