Micardis (Telmisartan) belongs to a class of medication called Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonists. Angiotensin is a hormone in our bodies, which is capable of tightening arteries and veins. Micardis (Telmisartan) blocks this hormone and thereby causes the blood vessels to relax and widen. This in turn reduces hypertension and prevents some of the negative consequences of high blood pressure, such as strokes, heart failure and kidney problems.

Häufige Fragen
How does Micardis (Telmisartan) work?
Micardis (Telmisartan) belongs to a class of medication called Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonists. Angiotensin is a hormone in our bodies, which is capable of tightening arteries and veins. In addition, this hormone causes water and salt to be retained by the kidneys, which increases the amount of fluid in the blood vessels. Micardis (Telmisartan) blocks the actions of Angiotensin and this causes the blood vessels to relax and widen and reduces the amount of fluid. Both of these reactions help lower the blood pressure.
Taking Micardis (Telmisartan) can cause dizziness and may make you more prone to fainting. While taking this medication, you should not drive or perform any activity that requires alertness, unless you are sure you can do this safely.
