Pharmacological action
Pharmacodynamics
Telmisartan is a specific angiotensin (ARA) II receptor antagonist, type AT1, effective when taken orally. It has a high affinity for the AT1 subtype of angiotensin II receptors, through which the action of angiotensin II is realized. Displaces angiotensin II from the connection with the receptor, not possessing the action of an agonist in relation to this receptor. Telmisartan binds only to the AT1 subtype of angiotensin II receptors.
Communication is continuous. It has no affinity for other receptors, including the AT2 receptor and other less studied receptors of angiotensin. The functional significance of these receptors, and the effect of their possible excessive stimulation with angiotensin II, the concentration of which increases with the appointment of telmisartan, has not been studied. It reduces the concentration of aldosterone in the blood, does not inhibit renin in blood plasma and does not block ion channels. Telmisartan does not inhibit the angiotensin converting enzyme (kininase II), which also destroys bradykinin. Therefore, an increase in the side effects caused by bradykinin is not expected.
In patients with arterial hypertension, telmisartan at a dose of 80 mg completely blocks the hypertensive effect of angiotensin II. The onset of antihypertensive action is noted within 3 hours after the first oral administration of telmisartan. The effect of the drug persists for 24 hours and remains significant up to 48 hours. A pronounced antihypertensive effect usually develops 4 weeks after regular use of the drug.
In patients with arterial hypertension, telmisartan lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) without affecting heart rate (HR).
In the case of abrupt cancellation of telmisartan, blood pressure gradually returns to its original level without the development of the "withdrawal" syndrome.
Pharmacokinetics
Absorption
When taken orally, it is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Bioavailability is about 50%. When taken at the same time as food, the decrease in the area under the concentration-time pharmacokinetic curve (AUC) ranges from 6% (at a dose of 40 mg) to 19% (at a dose of 160 mg). 3 hours after ingestion, the concentration in the blood plasma is leveled regardless of the meal.
Distribution of
Communication with blood plasma proteins - 99.5% (mainly with albumin and alpha-1 glycoprotein). The average value of the apparent volume of distribution in equilibrium concentration is 500 liters.
Metabolism
Metabolized by conjugation with glucuronic acid. Metabolites are pharmacologically inactive.
Withdrawal
Elimination half-life (T1 / 2) - more than 20 hours. It is excreted through the intestine unchanged, excretion by the kidneys - less than 2% of the dose taken. The total plasma clearance is high (900 ml / min) compared with “hepatic blood flow” (about 1500 ml / min).
Pharmacokinetics in special patient groups
Gender differences
There is a difference in plasma concentrations of telmisartan in men and women. The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) is approximately 3 times and the AUC is approximately 2 times higher in women compared with men without a significant effect on effectiveness. Dose adjustment is not required.
Elderly patients
The pharmacokinetics of telmisartan in elderly patients are not different from the pharmacokinetics in young patients. Dose adjustment is not required.
Indications
Arterial hypertension.
Decreased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients 55 years of age and older with a high risk of cardiovascular disease.
Contraindications

Directions for use
Telmisartan tablets are for daily oral use and are taken with liquid, with or without food. Treatment of essential arterial hypertension: The recommended dose for adults is 40 mg once a day. In cases where the desired blood pressure is not achieved, The dose of Telsartan may be increased to a maximum of 80 mg once daily. When increasing the dose, it should be taken into account that the maximum antihypertensive effect is usually achieved within four to eight weeks after the start of treatment.
Telsartan can be used in combination with thiazide diuretics, for example, hydrochlorothiazide, which in combination with telmisartan has an additional hypotensive effect. In patients with severe arterial hypertension, the dose of telmisartan is 160 mg / day (two tablets of Telsartan 80 mg) and in combination with hydrochlorothiazide 12.5-25 mg / day was well tolerated and was effective.
Prevention of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality: The recommended dose is 80 mg once daily. Not found out whether doses below 80 mg are effective in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. At the initial stage of the use of the drug TelsartanВ® for the prevention of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, it is recommended to control blood pressure (BP), and it may also be necessary to correct blood pressure with drugs that lower blood pressure.
Telsartan can be taken without regard to meals. Renal failure: A dose change in patients with renal failure is not required, including patients on hemodialysis. There is limited experience in treating patients with severe renal failure and hemodialysis. For such patients, it is recommended that you start with a lower dose of 20 mg.
Telsartan is not removed from the blood during hemofiltration. Liver failure: In patients with mild to moderate impaired liver function, the daily dose should not exceed 40 mg once a day. Elderly patients: No dose adjustment required.
Pregnancy and lactation
Pregnancy
Medicines that directly affect the RAAS can cause serious damage and death of the developing fetus, therefore, when planning or establishing the fact of pregnancy, the drug should be immediately canceled and, if necessary, alternative antihypertensive therapy should be prescribed having an established safety profile for use during pregnancy. The use of the drug during pregnancy is contraindicated.
In preclinical studies of telmisartan, teratogenic effects were not detected, but fetotoxicity was established. It is known that the effects of angiotensin II receptor antagonists during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy cause fetotoxicity in a person (decreased renal function, oligohydramnios, delayed ossification of the skull), as well as neonatal toxicity (renal failure, hypotension, hyperkalemia).
Patients planning a pregnancy should be given alternative therapy. If treatment with angiotensin II receptor antagonists occurred during the second trimester of pregnancy, ultrasound testing of the kidney function and the condition of the skull in the fetus is recommended.
Newborns whose mothers received angiotensin II receptor antagonists should be closely monitored for hypotension.
Breastfeeding period
Breastfeeding is contraindicated during telmisartan therapy.
Fertility
Studies on the effects on human fertility have not been conducted.
Special instructions
Impaired liver function
Telmisartan is contraindicated in patients with cholestasis, biliary obstruction, or severely impaired hepatic function (Child-Pu class C), since telmisartan is excreted primarily with bile. In such patients, a decrease in excretion of the drug is expected. Telmisartan should be used with caution in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (class A or B according to the Child-Pugh classification)
.
Vasorenal arterial hypertension
When using drugs that affect RAAS in patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis or stenosis of a single functioning kidney, the risk of developing severe arterial hypotension and renal failure is increased.
Impaired renal function
When using telmisartan in patients with renal failure, it is recommended that serum potassium and creatinine levels be monitored. The experience of using after a recent kidney transplant has not been described.
Hypovolemia
In patients with hypovolemia and / or hyponatremia due to intensive diuretic therapy, limiting salt intake, diarrhea or vomiting, symptomatic hypotension may develop, especially after taking the first dose of telmisartan. Before starting therapy, violations of the water-electrolyte balance should be adjusted.
Double blockade of RAAS
The simultaneous use of ACE inhibitors, ARA II or aliskiren increases the risk of hypotension, hyperkalemia and impaired renal function (including acute renal failure), therefore, the use of a combination of these drugs is regarded as a double blockade of RAAS.
The simultaneous use of ARA II with drugs containing aliskiren is contraindicated in patients with diabetes mellitus and / or with moderate or severe renal failure (GFR less than 60 ml / min / 1.73 m2 of body surface area) and is not recommended in other patients.
When absolutely necessary, therapy using the double blockade of RAAS should be carried out under strict medical supervision and careful monitoring of renal function, electrolytes and blood pressure.
Other conditions accompanied by activation of RAAS
In patients whose vascular tone and renal function is determined by the activity of RAAS (patients with chronic heart failure or kidney disease, including stenosis of two renal arteries or stenosis of a single kidney artery), the use of drugs that affect RAAS may be accompanied by the development of arterial hypotension, hyperazotemia, oliguria and, in rare cases, acute renal failure.
Primary hyperaldosteronism
Patients with primary hyperaldosteronism are resistant to antihypertensive drugs that affect RAAS, so telmisartan is not recommended for such patients.
Aortic and / or mitral valve stenosis, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (GOKMP)
Telmisartan should be used with caution in patients with hemodynamically significant stenosis of the aortic and / or mitral valves or with GOKMP.
patients with diabetes, receiving insulin or hypoglycemic agents for oral administration
When using telmisartan in such patients, the development of hypoglycemia is possible. It is recommended to regularly monitor the concentration of blood glucose and, if necessary, adjust the dose of hypoglycemic agents.
Hyperkalemia
The use of drugs that affect RAAS can cause hyperkalemia. Before the simultaneous use of such drugs, the benefit / risk ratio should be assessed.
Risk factors for the development of hyperkalemia:
- renal failure, over 70 years old, diabetes mellitus
- simultaneous use of drugs that affect RAAS (ACE inhibitors, ARA II) and / or potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone, eplerenone, triamterene, amiloride) potassium or potassium-containing salt substitutes, NSAIDs (including COX-2 selective), heparin, immunosuppressive drugs (cyclosporine or tacrolimus), as well as trimethoprim
- concomitant conditions such as dehydration, acute heart failure in the decompensation stage, metabolic acidosis, impaired renal function, sudden progression of kidney disease ( infectious diseases), conditions accompanied by tissue necrosis (acute limb ischemia, rhabdomyolysis, extensive trauma).
Patients at risk should be closely monitored for serum potassium concentrations.
Ethical features
ACE inhibitors and ARA II (including telmisartan) may have a less pronounced antihypertensive effect in patients of the Negroid race.
Perhaps this is associated with a decrease in renin levels in patients with arterial hypertension compared with other races.
Other
As with any antihypertensive drug, an excessive decrease in blood pressure in patients with coronary artery disease or ischemic cardiomyopathy can lead to myocardial infarction or stroke.
There have been no special clinical studies evaluating the effect of the drug on the ability to drive a car and machinery. However, when driving and engaging in hazardous activities, the possibility of developing dizziness and drowsiness should be taken into account, which requires caution.

Drug Interactions
The drug Telsartan may increase the hypotensive effect of other antihypertensive agents. No other clinically significant interactions have been identified. The combined use of telmisartan with digoxin, warfarin, hydrochlorothiazide, glibenclamide, ibuprofen, paracetamol, simvastatin and amlodipine does not lead to a clinically significant interaction.
With simultaneous use with digoxin, an increase in the average minimum concentration of digoxin in blood plasma by 20% was observed (in a single case by 39%), therefore, it is necessary to monitor the level of digoxin in blood plasma. With the simultaneous use of telmisartan and ramipril, a 2.5-fold increase in the AUC0-24 and Cmax of ramipril and ramipril was observed.
The clinical significance of this phenomenon has not been established. A reversible increase in serum lithium concentrations and toxicity has been reported with lithium combined with angiotensin II receptor antagonists, including telmisartan. In this case, it is recommended to monitor the level of lithium in blood plasma, and patients should be under strict medical supervision.
Concomitant treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including acetylsalicylic acid, cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors [COX-2] and non-selective NSAIDs, are associated with a risk of acute renal failure in patients with dehydration. Drugs acting on the renin-angiotensin system may have a synergistic effect.
Patients receiving both NSAIDs and telmisartan at the beginning of treatment should adequately replenish water loss and monitor kidney function. Some decrease in the antihypertensive effect of telmisartan has been reported with simultaneous use with NSAIDs. Simultaneous treatment of telmisartan with corticosteroid drugs reduces the antihypertensive effect of

Laboratory and instrumental data
Infrequently - increased creatinine concentration in the blood rarely - increased concentration of uric acid in the blood, “liver” enzymes, serum creatine phosphokinase activity, decreased hemoglobin, hypoglycemia (in patients with diabetes mellitus).
Drug Interactions
The drug Telsartan may increase the hypotensive effect of other antihypertensive agents. No other clinically significant interactions have been identified. The combined use of telmisartan with digoxin, warfarin, hydrochlorothiazide, glibenclamide, ibuprofen, paracetamol, simvastatin and amlodipine does not lead to a clinically significant interaction.
With simultaneous use with digoxin, an increase in the average minimum concentration of digoxin in blood plasma by 20% was observed (in a single case by 39%), therefore, it is necessary to monitor the level of digoxin in blood plasma. With the simultaneous use of telmisartan and ramipril, a 2.5-fold increase in the AUC0-24 and Cmax of ramipril and ramipril was observed.
The clinical significance of this phenomenon has not been established. A reversible increase in serum lithium concentrations and toxicity has been reported with lithium combined with angiotensin II receptor antagonists, including telmisartan. In this case, it is recommended to monitor the level of lithium in blood plasma, and patients should be under strict medical supervision.
Concomitant treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including acetylsalicylic acid, cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors [COX-2] and non-selective NSAIDs, are associated with a risk of acute renal failure in patients with dehydration. Drugs acting on the renin-angiotensin system may have a synergistic effect.
Patients receiving both NSAIDs and telmisartan at the beginning of treatment should adequately replenish water loss and monitor kidney function. Some decrease in the antihypertensive effect of telmisartan has been reported with simultaneous use with NSAIDs. Simultaneous treatment of telmisartan with corticosteroid drugs reduces the antihypertensive effect of
