Description
Hipotel (Telmisartan) Tablets 80 mg. №28
Composition
Telmisartan 80 mg
Mechanism of Action
Telmisartan, the active ingredient in Hipotel tablets, is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It selectively blocks the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor subtype, leading to vasodilation and a reduction in aldosterone secretion. This results in decreased blood pressure and improved cardiovascular outcomes.
Pharmacological Properties
Hipotel tablets exhibit high affinity and selectivity for the AT1 receptor. Telmisartan does not exhibit any partial agonist activity and has a long duration of action, providing 24-hour blood pressure control with once-daily dosing.
Indications for Use
Hipotel tablets are indicated for the treatment of hypertension in adult patients to lower blood pressure. They can be used as monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensive agents to achieve optimal blood pressure control.
Contraindications
Avoid using Hipotel tablets if you have a known hypersensitivity to telmisartan or any other components of the formulation. These tablets are contraindicated during pregnancy due to the potential risk of fetal harm.
Side Effects
Common side effects associated with Hipotel tablets may include dizziness, hypotension, hyperkalemia, and renal impairment. Rare but serious side effects may include angioedema and hepatic injury. Patients should seek medical attention if they experience any severe or persistent adverse reactions.
Usage Instructions
Adults: The recommended dosage of Hipotel tablets is 80 mg taken orally once daily. It can be administered with or without food. Patients should swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on individual patient response and tolerability.
Benefits Compared to Analogues
Hipotel tablets offer several advantages over other antihypertensive medications. Telmisartan has a unique pharmacokinetic profile with a long half-life, allowing for once-daily dosing and consistent blood pressure control. Additionally, telmisartan has been shown to provide cardiovascular protection beyond blood pressure reduction, making it a preferred choice in the management of hypertension.
Suitable Patient Groups
Hipotel tablets are suitable for adult patients with hypertension who require effective blood pressure management. They are well-tolerated in most patient populations, including the elderly and those with comorbid conditions such as diabetes or renal impairment. However, special caution should be exercised when prescribing to pregnant women, children, and individuals with a history of angioedema.
