How It Works

Selective angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptor, leading to vasodilation and reduced aldosterone secretion.

Mechanism Steps

1Telmisartan binds selectively to angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors on vascular smooth muscle and adrenal gland.
2Blocks the binding of angiotensin II, preventing vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion.
3Leads to vasodilation, reduced peripheral resistance, and decreased blood pressure.
