Telmisartan is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. Telmisartan is also used to decrease the chance of heart attack, stroke, or death in people 55 years of age or older who are at high risk for cardiovascular disease. Telmisartan is in a class of medications called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances that tighten the blood vessels, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently.

Possible Side Effects of Telmisartan (Telma 20)

As with most medications, Telmisartan may cause some side effects, though not everyone will experience them. Commonly reported effects include:

• Diarrhea
• Sinus congestion or infection
• Back pain
• Lowered blood pressure (especially when standing up quickly)

These effects are typically mild and often resolve as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, if any side effects linger or become bothersome, it's a good idea to speak with your healthcare provider for further guidance.
