Telgo 20 mg Tablet

Telgo 20 mg Tablet contains 20 mg of telmisartan in each tablet. It is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used to help treat high blood pressure, which can lower the risk of stroke and heart-related complications over time. In some patients, telmisartan is also used to help protect the heart and blood vessels by reducing strain on the circulation.

How it works: Telmisartan in Telgo 20 mg Tablet blocks angiotensin II from tightening blood vessels, so the vessels relax and blood can flow more easily. As an oral tablet, it delivers a measured 20 mg dose that is taken by mouth and absorbed to provide steady blood-pressure lowering over the day.

Telgo 20 mg Tablet is a lower-strength telmisartan tablet, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants to start gently, adjust therapy step by step, or use it in patients who need a smaller dose than higher-strength tablets. Because there are no other listed strengths or forms in this brand line, this 20 mg tablet fits into typical telmisartan dosing as a lower-dose option that still provides once-daily blood-pressure control for selected patients.

• High blood pressure
• Blood pressure control to reduce cardiovascular risk
• Doctor-directed management of hypertension
• Support for long-term heart and vessel protection

• Swallow Telgo 20 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it at the same time each day to help keep blood levels steady.
• It may be taken with or without food.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your prescriber or pharmacist tells you to.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.
• Follow your doctor’s exact instructions, because the right dose depends on your blood pressure, age, kidney function, and other medicines.

Each Telgo 20 mg Tablet provides 20 mg of telmisartan per tablet. It is usually taken once daily, but your doctor may adjust how often you take it and whether you need a different strength based on your response. Do not exceed the daily amount prescribed by your clinician; the maximum dose is determined by the prescriber for your specific situation.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
