Scientific Evidence
Micardis (telmisartan) has been extensively studied in clinical trials to establish its efficacy and safety in the treatment of hypertension. Telmisartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance that constricts blood vessels. This action helps relax and widen blood vessels, reducing the heart’s workload and lowering blood pressure.
In a comparative study published in the Journal of Hypertension, telmisartan was found to be as effective as other angiotensin receptor blockers in lowering blood pressure. It also offers additional benefits such as improving cardiovascular outcomes and reducing the risk of stroke in hypertensive patients.
Additional Information
Precautions: Regularly monitor blood pressure while taking Micardis. Inform your doctor of any changes in your condition. Avoid alcohol and medications that may interact with telmisartan.
Storage: Keep Micardis at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Ensure it is out of reach of children.
