Properties

Antihypertensive agent, angiotensin II receptor antagonist (type AT1). It has a very high affinity for this receptor subtype. Selectively and for a long time binding to receptors, telmisartan displaces angiotensin II from its association with AT1 receptors. Does not show affinity for other subtypes of AT receptors. The functional significance of other subtypes of receptors and the effect of elevated (as a result of the appointment of telmisartan) levels of angiotensin II on them is not known. Telmisartan reduces plasma aldosterone levels, does not inhibit plasma renin, does not block ion channels, does not inhibit ACE (kinase II), which also destroys bradykinin. Therefore, there are no side effects associated with bradykinin.
