Question about 6 years ago

How does Telemar work

Dr. Gaurav MBBS , General Physician

Telemar 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 Telemar decreases the blood pressure.

Question about 6 years ago

How to take Telemar?

Dr. Saurabh Shakya MBBS , General Physician

Telemar is available in the form of tablets. A tablet is usually taken once a day, with or without food because food affects the absorption of this drug. It should be taken at exactly the same time every time to avoid skipping the dose. Telemar might start showing the effects between 2 to 4 weeks, therefore, it is important to continue taking it even when you feel well. One should take Telemar exactly as prescribed by their doctor.
