Introduction
It is usually uncertain at what blood pressure level telmisartan should be taken. For mild hypertension, treatment can start with the initial dose, followed by adjustments based on drug response and blood pressure readings. However, for severe hypertension in patients with relatively healthy liver and kidney function, the maximum dose of telmisartan may be required. Therefore, it is not definite at which blood pressure level telmisartan should be used.
It is generally uncertain what level of blood pressure warrants taking telmisartan, as the blood pressure values in patients with hypertension are not within a fixed range due to individual differences in physical condition, disease severity, and types of hypertension.
Common formulations of telmisartan include telmisartan tablets and telmisartan capsules, which are relatively effective in treating essential hypertension. For patients with mild hypertension who maintain a light diet, exercise regularly, and have stable emotional states, treatment may begin at the initial recommended dose under a doctor's guidance, with subsequent dosage adjustments based on drug response and blood pressure readings. However, for patients with severe hypertension and normal liver and kidney function, the maximum prescribed dose may be required as directed by a physician. Therefore, it is unclear exactly at what blood pressure level telmisartan should be taken.
Telmisartan can be used alone or in combination with other medications to control blood pressure, but must always be taken according to medical advice to prevent potential side effects such as back pain and dizziness.
