Telmikind 40, Tazloc 40, Telvas 40, Telista 40 and Eritel 40 are some other medicines which contain telmisartan as their main ingredient.

High blood pressure is a critical health condition. If not treated well, it can lead to other health-related complications and affect other parts of the body, such as the brain, heart, blood vessels and kidneys.
