Telmisartan (Cinod-T) is used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. Lowering blood pressure can reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks. Telmisartan (Cinod-T) is also used to lower the risk of heart attacks or stroke in patients 55 years of age and older who have diabetes or heart problems. Telmisartan (Cinod-T) is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten. As a result, Telmisartan (Cinod-T) relaxes the blood vessels. This lowers blood pressure and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.

Cinod-T Tablet 15's should be taken with caution in patients with congestive heart failure, liver disease, peripheral oedema (swelling of hands/legs), cardiogenic shock (when heart suddenly can not pump sufficient blood), recent MI (myocardial infarction) or acute unstable angina (chest pain), severe aortic stenosis (when heart valves become diseased). You should monitor your blood pressure regularly to make sure the Cinod-T Tablet 15's is working efficiently. Besides this prolonged intake of Cinod-T Tablet 15's can lead to lowering of blood pressure (hypotension). So, daily monitoring of blood pressure is advisable.
