Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, leading to a decrease in blood pressure. Telmisartan is also used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events like stroke and heart attack in individuals at high risk.
For treating hypertension, reducing cardiovascular risk, and managing diabetic nephropathy.
Outcome:
Increased risk of hypotension, hyperkalemia, and renal impairment
Mechanism:
Additive effects on the renin-angiotensin system.
Outcome:
Increased risk of hypotension
Mechanism:
Additive hypotensive effects.
Outcome:
Slightly decreased absorption of telmisartan
Mechanism:
Changes in gastric pH.
Most likely new formulation: Combination therapy with other antihypertensives (2025, 75% confidence)
Based on current usage trends and clinical trial data, there is a 90% likelihood that telmisartan will maintain its approved status for hypertension and cardiovascular risk reduction.
