Tasmi Tab 20Mg Tp 14'S Chg

It contains Telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker that relaxes blood vessels.

Tasmi Tab 20mg 14's Ingredients and Usage

Tasmi Tab 20mg 14's contains Telmisartan, a non-peptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist and a member of the ARB drug class. Doctors prescribe it for essential hypertension, either as a standalone treatment or combined with other antihypertensive agents.

The usual starting dose is 40mg once daily, though some patients respond well to 20mg. Blood pressure response is dose related across the 20mg to 80mg range, so Tasmi Tab 20mg 14's often suits patients starting combination therapy or those with reduced kidney function.

How Does Tasmi Tab 20mg 14's Work?

Telmisartan selectively blocks angiotensin II from binding to the AT1 receptor found in vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland. Angiotensin II normally drives vasoconstriction, aldosterone release, and cardiac stimulation as part of the renin angiotensin system.

By blocking the AT1 receptor, Telmisartan prevents these effects and allows blood vessels to relax, which lowers blood pressure. Telmisartan has over 3,000 fold greater affinity for the AT1 receptor than the AT2 receptor, giving it selective, sustained action independent of how angiotensin II is produced.
