CompositionTelkonol 40 Tablet is used to manage high blood pressure in adults and to lower the risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney problems in people at high cardiovascular risk. It also helps protect the kidneys in people with diabetes.
It contains telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels so blood flows more easily.
Take it at the same time each day, with or without food, and continue it even when you feel well, as stopping suddenly can let your blood pressure rise again.
Do not use it in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Tell your doctor about any kidney or liver problems, or low blood pressure, before use. Your doctor may check your kidney function and potassium.
