How it Works?
Telniz 80 Tablet contains telmisartan (80 mg), which acts in the body by:
• Blocking Angiotensin II Receptors: Telmisartan binds specifically to the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1 receptor), inhibiting the action of angiotensin II, which is responsible for vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion.
• Reducing Blood Pressure: This blockade results in vasodilation and reduced secretion of aldosterone, consequently leading to a decrease in blood pressure.
• Decreasing Heart Workload: The relaxation of blood vessels and reduced aldosterone levels minimise the resistance against which the heart must pump, thereby diminishing the heart's workload.
