Product Description

Telsartan 20 Tablet is a prescription medication used to manage high blood pressure and heart failure. By relaxing blood vessels, it helps the heart pump blood more efficiently, reducing the strain on the cardiovascular system. Regular use of Telsartan 20 Tablet can lower the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage, especially in patients with diabetes.

This medicine can be taken alone or alongside other medications and is effective with or without food. For consistent results, take it at the same time every day and continue as prescribed, even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no obvious symptoms, so discontinuing treatment could increase your risk of serious cardiovascular events.

Lifestyle modifications can complement the effects of this tablet. Maintaining regular exercise, achieving a healthy weight, reducing salt intake, limiting alcohol, and quitting smoking can all support blood pressure management.
