Micatel Tablet 40 mg contains Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) widely used for the treatment of hypertension and for reducing the risk of cardiovascular events in high-risk patients. By relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow, it helps lower blood pressure and reduces the workload on the heart.

Telmisartan works by selectively blocking the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor. Angiotensin II is a hormone responsible for narrowing blood vessels and increasing blood pressure. By inhibiting its action, Micatel Tablet 40 mg helps maintain optimal blood pressure levels and offers protective benefits to the heart and kidneys.

Dosage and Administration

• The usual recommended starting dose is 40 mg once daily.

• Can be taken with or without food.

• Dosage may be adjusted depending on blood pressure response and clinical condition.

• Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and serum potassium is advised.

Mechanism of Action

Telmisartan blocks the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors located in vascular smooth muscle and adrenal glands. This results in vasodilation, reduced aldosterone secretion, decreased sodium retention, and overall reduction in blood pressure.
