Description
Telvas 40 Tablet is a medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. Its active ingredient is Telmisartan, which belongs to a class of drugs called Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs).
Here’s how Telvas 40 works:
- Mechanism of Action: Telmisartan works by blocking the action of a hormone called angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is naturally produced in the body and causes blood vessels to narrow, leading to increased blood pressure. By blocking this action, Telvas 40 causes the blood vessels to widen and relax (vasodilation). This allows blood to flow more easily, reducing the pressure on artery walls and consequently lowering blood pressure.
- Benefits: By effectively lowering blood pressure, Telvas 40 helps to:
- Reduce the workload on the heart.
- Prevent future cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes.
- Preserve kidney function in patients with diabetes, as high blood pressure can damage the kidneys.
- Administration: Telvas 40 is typically taken orally, usually once a day. It can be taken with or without food. To achieve the best results and maintain stable blood pressure levels, it’s crucial to take the medication at the same time every day. It’s important to continue taking it regularly even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms.
- Important Considerations:
- Telvas 40 does not cure high blood pressure but controls it, meaning it may need to be taken long-term, possibly lifelong.
- It may be prescribed alone or in combination with other medications.
- Lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, weight loss, smoking cessation, reduced alcohol intake, and a low-salt diet, are important complements to Telvas 40 for optimal blood pressure control.
- Close monitoring by a doctor is necessary, especially for individuals with kidney or liver disease, as well as those with diabetes (due to potential impact on potassium levels).
