Why did my doctor prescribe Telmisartan (Telma) for my high blood pressure instead of Azilsartan, which I read is a better option?

Asked by Female, 45 · 5 hours ago

While both telmisartan and azilsartan are excellent medications from the same family, your doctor likely chose telmisartan (Telma) because of its proven, long-lasting protection. Telmisartan stays in your system for over 24 hours, providing very stable, round-the-clock blood pressure control, especially during the critical early morning hours. It also has an outstanding safety record and is exceptionally well-tolerated. Your doctor selected what they felt was the safest, most reliable option for your body.
