Telma-R, Telmisartan/ Ramipril

Ramipril is used in the treatment of hypertension, heart failure, heart attack and diabetic kidney disease.

Ramipril is known as an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor.ACE inhibitors like ramipril works by preventing the body from creating a hormone known as angiotensin II. This is done by blocking or inhibiting a chemical called angiotensin-converting enzyme. This then widens the blood vessels and helps to reduce the amount of water put back into your blood by the kidneys.These actions by Ramipril helps to decrease blood pressure.

Patients who take Ramipril may suffer from such side effects;

Decreased blood pressure,
Cough,
Increased potassium level in blood,
Fatigue,
Weakness,
Dizziness,
Renal impairment

Telmisartan is used in the treatment of increased blood pressure, heart failure, heart attack and diabetic kidney disease.

Telmisartan is known as an angiotensin receptor blocker which is also called an angiotensin-II receptor antagonist (AIIRA). Telmisartan is used to treat high blood pressure or hypertension. Telmisartan works by blocking the effect of a natural chemical made in the bloodstream, called angiotensin II. Angiotensin II causes the blood vessels to narrow, so by blocking this effect, telmisartan allows the blood vessels to relax and widen. The pressure within the blood vessels is then reduced. This also makes it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body.

Patients who take Telmisartan may suffer from such side effects;

Fatigue,
Orthostatic hypotension,
Weakness,
Dizziness,
Anemia,
Renal impairment,
Vertigo,
Increased potassium level in blood
