What is Cresar (Telmisartan) used for?

Cresar (Telmisartan) is an oral angiotensin II receptor agonist prescribed to treat patients suffering from hypertension. The medication operates by preventing blood vessels from narrowing to increase circulation and reduce the amount of work required by the heart to pump the blood. This can prevent chest pain, agitation, headaches, or other symptoms associated with this condition. It may also be used to reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes in patients with a history of coronary heart disease. Your doctor may prescribe this medication for the treatment of other unlisted conditions, as well.

How should I use Cresar (Telmisartan)?

Cresar (Telmisartan) is normally prescribed to be taken once each day at a dosage of one tablet, but your individual directions will be determined by your doctor based on your age, weight, current health, the condition being treated, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a large glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a meal is suggested before use if you experience nausea. Do not chew, split, or crush the tablets prior to use to avoid unintentionally destroying or altering the effects of their contents.

What are the side effects of Cresar (Telmisartan)?

Cresar (Telmisartan) may cause side effects in some patients such as:
