In certain cases, veterinarians may also prescribe it to manage kidney disease in pets. Sold by the tablet.How it Works

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten. As a result, telmisartan relaxes the blood vessels. This lowers blood pressure and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.

Keep away from children and animals. Do not use telmisartan in pets that are allergic to it or other similar medications, in pets that are dehydrated, have low blood pressure, or are pregnant. Use cautiously in pets with severe liver problems or blood cell abnormalities. Your veterinarian will advise you on the safety of telmisartan use in your pet.
