Telma 40 MG Description

Telma 40 tablet is a medication used to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease in patients over 55 years of age who are at risk of heart-related disorders. Telma 40 contains telmisartan as its active ingredient. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances responsible for narrowing blood vessels, helping to reduce pressure and allowing the heart to pump efficiently. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can adversely affect other organs, including the kidneys, brain, and heart. Therefore, it is crucial to take Telma 40 as prescribed by your doctor and make the necessary lifestyle modifications.
