Frequently asked Questions about Teli R

Question almost 6 years ago

How does Teli R work

Dr. Gaurav MBBS , General Physician

Teli R contains telmisartan which is an antihypertensive drug that works by preventing a chemical (angiotensin II) to bind with a receptor. This causes relaxation of blood vessels, it also prevents the synthesis and release of aldosterone (a hormone whose hyperactivity results in high blood pressure). In this way Teli R decreases the blood pressure.
