Telma 40mg tablet is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) (Anti Hypertensive Agent). The medicine contains two active ingredients that help slow blood pressure. It works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to narrow through which this action allows blood vessels to widen, reducing blood pressure and improving heart function and making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
