Telmisartan tablets are commonly used to treat hypertension. They can lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with high blood pressure without affecting heart rate, and they can also improve cardiac and renal function. Currently, telmisartan is widely used in clinical practice. Patients should take this medication under the guidance of a doctor to avoid potential interactions with other drugs. If only half a tablet is taken and the other half remains, it is generally safe to take the remaining half later, as there would typically be no significant adverse effects. However, it is important to carefully check whether the remaining half has been contaminated. If contamination is present, it should not be taken.
Patients are advised to seek timely medical attention when experiencing discomfort and to follow proper medication treatment under a doctor's guidance, which helps promote recovery.
