Please do not lower your dose to 20 mg without consulting your prescribing doctor first. Reducing your medication on your own could cause your blood pressure to rise again. At your next visit, discuss this with your physician; they can evaluate if a dose adjustment is safe and appropriate for you.

I am taking Sartel 40mg for hypertension; does this medication affect conception, specifically egg fertilization and implantation?

Telmisartan (the active ingredient in your medication) does not directly interfere with egg fertilization or implantation. However, this class of blood pressure medication is not safe to take during pregnancy as it can pose risks to a developing baby. If you are planning to conceive, it is highly recommended to speak with your doctor. They can safely transition you to a pregnancy-safe alternative, such as labetalol or methyldopa, before you begin trying. Please do not stop taking your current medication abruptly; consult your healthcare provider first to plan a safe transition.
