Telmisartan selectively blocks the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor, preventing the vasoconstrictive and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II. As a result, it helps control hypertension and provides protective benefits to the heart and kidneys.

Indications

Micatel Tablet 80 mg is indicated for:

• Treatment of essential hypertension in adults.

• Reduction of cardiovascular morbidity in patients at high risk of cardiovascular events.

• Management of hypertension in patients with type 2 diabetes and associated kidney complications, as advised by a healthcare provider.

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

• Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function is recommended during treatment.

Mechanism of Action

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

Safety Information

Contraindications:

• Hypersensitivity to telmisartan or any component of the formulation.

• Pregnancy (especially second and third trimesters).

Warnings and precautions:

• Monitor kidney function and serum potassium levels.

• Use cautiously in patients with renal artery stenosis or severe hepatic impairment.
