Telmisartan is a drug that belongs to the class of angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). It is used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as stroke and heart attack in patients with cardiovascular disease, including those with diabetes. Telmisartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes constriction of blood vessels and increases blood pressure. This helps to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow, which in turn reduces the risk of cardiovascular events.*
