Blood pressure is lowered.
Telmisartan or Micardis is well tolerated. Cough is a side effect associated with ACE inhibitors, but by affecting the angiotensin system in the way it does, Telmisartan or Micardis avoids this cough side effect. Telmisartan or Micardis is used in blood pressure control and can be used in combination with other drugs which also lower blood pressure, but care must be taken to ensure the blood pressure is not lowered too much so that postural hypotension results. The relevant product monographs must be regarded as the appropriate sources of prescribing information.
