PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Telvas 40 Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat high blood pressure, manage heart failure, and help reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. It may be prescribed alone or in combination with other medicines and is considered suitable for long term use when taken regularly as advised by a doctor.

KEY USES AND BENEFITS

Telvas 40 Tablet is used for the treatment of hypertension, also known as high blood pressure. It helps relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more smoothly and making it easier for the heart to pump blood. When taken regularly as prescribed, it may help reduce the risk of complications associated with uncontrolled high blood pressure, including kidney damage, heart disease, and stroke.

In heart failure, Telvas 40 Tablet helps relax blood vessels, reduce blood pressure, and ease the strain on the heart. This supports improved blood flow and helps the heart pump blood more efficiently. It may also help reduce fluid buildup in the body and support the management of symptoms such as swelling and shortness of breath. In appropriate cases, it may be prescribed as an alternative for patients who cannot tolerate certain ACE inhibitors.

Telvas 40 Tablet may also help reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke by supporting effective blood pressure control and reducing strain on the heart. Its benefits are supported by regular use as prescribed along with a healthy diet and appropriate lifestyle measures.

COMPOSITION AND HOW IT WORKS

Telvas 40 Tablet contains Telmisartan 40 mg. Telmisartan belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin receptor blockers, also known as ARBs.

It works by blocking the action of a chemical that normally causes blood vessels to become narrow. This helps relax and widen the blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, improves blood flow to different organs, and allows the heart to pump blood more efficiently.
