Telmisartan should be taken orally once daily at a dose of 40 mg with water, regardless of meals. The dose may be increased to 80 mg once daily if necessary, and the maximum antihypertensive effect can be observed 4 to 8 weeks after dosage increase.

This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus and newborn if taken during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, so it should be discontinued immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. This medicine should not be used by individuals with hypersensitivity to any of the components, pregnant or nursing women, patients with severe hepatic impairment, patients with biliary obstruction or cholestasis, patients with hereditary angioedema, and patients with certain kidney dysfunctions. Elderly patients, patients with hyperkalemia, patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment, patients with cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases, patients with gastrointestinal diseases, and patients with renal artery hypertension should use this medication with special caution. As this drug lowers blood pressure, symptoms such as hypotension, dizziness, and syncope may occur, and potassium levels in the blood may increase, so regular monitoring is necessary. Adverse effects such as liver dysfunction, worsening kidney function, allergic reactions, and angioedema may occur, so if any unusual symptoms appear, immediate consultation with a healthcare professional is required. This medication may increase efficacy when used with other antihypertensives, but the risk of kidney dysfunction or hyperkalemia may also increase, so it should be taken according to a doctor's instructions. Interactions may occur when used with specific drugs, so if you are currently taking any medication, you must inform your healthcare provider. Pregnant women or those planning to become pregnant should not take this medication, and nursing mothers should also avoid it. Children, especially those under 18 years of age, are not recommended as the safety and efficacy of this drug have not been established. In case of overdose, symptoms like hypotension, dizziness, and arrhythmia may occur, so it is important to adhere strictly to the dosage, and if any abnormal symptoms appear, visit a healthcare facility immediately. This medication should be kept out of the reach of children, and before taking, the packaging should be opened to ensure it is in a fresh state.
