Question about 6 years ago

What is Teltop?

Dr. Kishan Barnwal MBBS , General Physician

Teltop is the brand name for telmisartan. It belongs to a group of medications known as angiotensin II receptor blockers. It is available in the form of tablets. Teltop is used to treat hypertension.

Question about 6 years ago

How does Teltop work

Dr. Gaurav MBBS , General Physician

Teltop 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 Teltop decreases the blood pressure.
