Telma 80 mg is an antihypertensive agent used to treat high blood pressure. It is prescribed to people 55 years and older to help reduce the risk of heart disease or death. Telmisartan is the active component in the medication, which is thought to block the action of certain substances that cause blood vessels to narrow and increase blood pressure. Telma may be used as a monotherapy or as a combination therapy with hydrochlorothiazide. By lowering blood pressure, Telma prevents heart complications, including death due to heart disease in patients older than 55 years of age with previous stroke, coronary artery disease (CAD), previous transient ischaemic attack, or diabetes with evidence of end-organ damage.
