Generic Telmisartan Tablets (Sartel Tablets) - Product Information

Generic Telmisartan Tablets (Sartel Tablets) are used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Telmisartan is also used to lower the risk of heart attacks or stroke in patients 55 years of age and older who have diabetes or heart problems.
High blood pressure increases the workload of the heart and arteries. In case it continues for a considerable amount of time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This could damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure.
In our online pharmacy, Sartel tablets, manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals Limited, India, are available in the strength of 20 mg, 40 mg and 80 mg of Telmisartan.

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient

The active ingredient present in Sartel tablets is Telmisartan. Each Sartel tablet contains 20 mg, 40 mg or 80 mg of Telmisartan respectively.

Uses of Telmisartan Tablets

Telmisartan (Sartel Tablets) belongs to a class of medicines known as angiotensin II receptor blockers. Angiotensin II is a substance produced in your body which causes your blood vessels to narrow, thus increasing your blood pressure. Micardis blocks the effect of angiotensin II so that the blood vessels relax, and your blood pressure is lowered.
Telmisartan is used to treat essential hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults. ‘Essential’ means that the high blood pressure is not caused by any other condition.
Telmisartan is also used to reduce cardiovascular events (i.e. heart attack or stroke) in adults who are at risk because they have a reduced or blocked blood supply to the heart or legs, or have had a stroke or have high risk diabetes. Your doctor can tell you if you are at high risk for such events.

Sartel Tablets - Dosage

Generic Telmisartan tablets should be administered exactly as suggested by your doctor. Your doctor may recommend a dosage of Sartel tablets depending on your age, medical requirement, body weight, other medical conditions, and current medications.
Treatment Of Essential Hypertension
The usually effective dose is 40 mg once daily. Some patients may already benefit at a daily dose of 20 mg. In cases where the target blood pressure is not achieved, the dose of telmisartan can be increased to a maximum of 80 mg once daily. When considering raising the dose, it must be borne in mind that the maximum antihypertensive effect is generally attained 4 to 8 weeks after the start of treatment.
Cardiovascular Prevention
The recommended dose is 80 mg once daily. It is not known whether doses lower than 80 mg of telmisartan are effective in reducing cardiovascular morbidity. When initiating Telmisartan therapy for the reduction of cardiovascular morbidity, close monitoring of blood pressure is recommended, and if appropriate adjustment of medications that lower blood pressure may be necessary.
Sartel tablets work effectively if the amount of Telmisartan is maintained at a constant level in the body. You should be systematic about the daily schedule for the medication such that you take tablets at about the same time every day, to get the maximum benefit of the medication. Continue taking Sartel tablets without missing any doses for the recommended treatment period and do not stop the treatment suddenly even if you feel better.

Telmisartan Mechanism of Action

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten. As a result, telmisartan relaxes the blood vessels.
This lowers blood pressure and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.
