Telistar 40 Tablet 10 contains telmisartan (40 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Angiotensin II Receptor Blockade: Telmisartan selectively blocks the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor in your body, preventing this hormone from causing blood vessels to narrow.

• Vasodilation Effect: By blocking angiotensin II, this medicine causes your blood vessels to widen (dilate), which helps reduce blood pressure.

• Reduced Aldosterone Production: Telmisartan decreases the secretion of aldosterone, a hormone that increases sodium and water retention in your kidneys, thereby helping lower blood pressure.

• Decreased Peripheral Resistance: The medicine reduces the resistance in your blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow through them, which contributes to lowering blood pressure.

• Store the tablet at room temperature between 15°C and 30°C.

• Keep the tablets in their original packaging.

• Protect from light and moisture.

• Store in a safe place away from the reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the package.

• Limiting sodium in your diet helps manage high blood pressure (hypertension). Try using herbs and spices instead of salt to flavour your food.

• Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week to help lower your blood pressure and reduce cardiovascular risk.
