Indications
Pharmacology
There is also an AT2 receptor found in many tissues, but AT2 is not known to be associated with cardiovascular homeostasis. Telmisartan has much greater affinity (>3,000-fold) for the AT1 receptor than for the AT2 receptor.
Telmisartan does not inhibit ACE (kininase II) nor does it bind to or block other hormone receptors or ion channels known to be important in cardiovascular regulation.
Blockade of the angiotensin II receptor inhibits the negative regulatory feedback of angiotensin II on renin secretion, but the resulting increased plasma renin activity and angiotensin II circulating levels do not overcome the effect of telmisartan on blood pressure.
Hydrochlorothiazide: Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic. Thiazides affect the renal tubular mechanisms of electrolyte reabsorption, directly increasing excretion of sodium salt and chloride in approximately equivalent amounts. Indirectly, the diuretic action of hydrochlorothiazide reduces plasma volume, with consequent increases in plasma renin activity, increases in aldosterone secretion, increases in urinary potassium loss, and decreases in serum potassium. The renin-aldosterone link is mediated by angiotensin II, so coadministration of an ARB tends to reverse the potassium loss associated with these diuretics. The mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of thiazides is not fully understood.
Dosage & Administration
- Telmisartan monotherapy 80 mg: Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide 80 mg/12.5 mg once daily. Dose can be titrated up to 160 mg/25 mg after 2 to 4 weeks, if necessary.
- Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg once daily, or is controlled but who experiences hypokalemia with this regimen: Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide 80 mg/12.5 mg once daily. Dose can be titrated up to 160 mg/25 mg after 2 to 4 weeks, if necessary.
Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide may be administered with other antihypertensive drugs.
Interaction
Contraindications
Side Effects
Pregnancy & Lactation
Nursing Mothers: It is not known whether telmisartan is excreted in human milk, but telmisartan was shown to be present in the milk of lactating rats. Thiazides appear in human milk. Because of the potential for adverse effects on the nursing infant, decide whether to discontinue nursing or discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
Precautions & Warnings
Use in Special Populations
Geriatric Use: In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal or cardiac function and of concomitant diseases or other drug therapy.
Use in Patients with Hepatic Impairment: Patients with biliary obstructive disorders or hepatic insufficiency should initiate treatment under close medical supervision.
Use in Patients with Renal Impairment: Safety and effectiveness of Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide in patients with severe renal impairment (Cr.Cl. <30 ml/min) have not been established. In patients with severe renal impairment, Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide tablets are not recommended. No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild (Cr.Cl. 60 to 90 ml/min) or moderate (Cr.Cl. 30 to 60 ml/min) renal impairment.
