Amlosafe 10mg

Description

Sartel 80mg Tablet is a medication primarily used for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart failure. Its active ingredient is telmisartan, which belongs to a class of drugs known as Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs).

Telmisartan works by blocking the action of a naturally occurring hormone in the body called angiotensin II. Angiotensin II normally causes blood vessels to constrict and narrow, which increases blood pressure. By blocking its effects, telmisartan helps to relax and widen blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more smoothly and reducing the workload on the heart. This leads to a decrease in blood pressure.

Sartel 80mg can be prescribed alone or in combination with other medications. It is typically taken once daily, with or without food, but it’s recommended to take it at the same time each day to maintain stable blood pressure levels. Consistent use is crucial, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms, and stopping the medication can worsen your condition.

Beyond blood pressure control, Sartel 80mg is also effective in:

• Preventing future cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes, especially in individuals with existing heart problems or risk factors like diabetes.
• Preserving kidney function in patients with diabetes, as high blood pressure can damage the kidneys.
• Improving heart function and reducing symptoms like fatigue and breathlessness in patients with heart failure by easing the strain on the heart.

While generally considered safe for long-term use, some common side effects may include diarrhea, back pain, sinus inflammation, and dizziness. It’s important to discuss any side effects with your doctor. Sartel 80mg is contraindicated in pregnancy due to the risk of harm to the developing baby and should be used with caution in patients with severe kidney or liver disease. Lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet (low in salt), weight management, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol, are often recommended in conjunction with Sartel 80mg to optimize blood pressure control.
