Composition
Active ingredient:
Telmisartan – 80.00 mg;
Associates:
Sodium hydroxide – 6.70 mg;
Povidone-K25 – 21.60 mg;
Meglumine – 24.00 mg;
Mannitol – 327.70 mg;
Magnesium stearate – 8.00 mg;

Interaction
Telmisartan may increase the antihypertensive effect of other antihypertensive agents. Other types of interactions of clinical relevance have not been identified. Combined use with digoxin, warfarin, hydrochlorothiazide, glibenclamide, ibuprofen, paracetamol, simvastatin and amlodipine does not lead to clinically significant interactions.
Directions for use
Orally, regardless of meals.
Arterial hypertension
The initial recommended dose of Telprez is 1 tablet (40 mg) once daily. In cases when therapeutic effect is not achieved, the maximum recommended dose of Telprez may be increased to 80 mg once daily. When deciding to increase the dose, it should be taken into account that the maximum antihypertensive effect is usually achieved within 4-8 weeks after the start of treatment.
Lower cardiovascular morbidity and mortality
The recommended dose is 1 tablet of Telprez 80 mg once daily.
In the initial period of treatment, monitoring of blood pressure (BP) is recommended; correction of antihypertensive therapy may be necessary.
Renal dysfunction
In patients with severe renal dysfunction and patients on hemodialysis, experience with use is limited. In these patients, the recommended starting dose is 20 mg daily. No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment.
Hepatic impairment
In patients with mild and moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh grades A and B, respectively) the daily dose of Telpras should not exceed 40 mg.
Elderly patients
Dose adjustment is not necessary in elderly patients.
Special Instructions
The use of Telprez is contraindicated in patients with cholestasis, biliary obstruction or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C) (see section “Contraindications”) since telmisartan is mainly excreted with bile. It is assumed that hepatic clearance of telmisartan is reduced in such patients. Telprez should be used with caution in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh grades A and B) (see section “Caution”).
Renovascular Hypertension
When treated with drugs acting on the RAAS, patients with bilateral arterial stenosis or arterial stenosis of the only functioning kidney have an increased risk of severe arterial hypotension and renal failure.
Kidney dysfunction and renal transplantation
Periodic monitoring of plasma potassium and creatinine is recommended during Telprez administration in patients with renal dysfunction. There is no experience in clinical use of Thelprez in patients who have recently undergone kidney transplantation.
Decrease of circulating blood volume
Symptomatic arterial hypotension, especially after the first use of Thelprez may occur in patients with decreased BOD and/or plasma sodium content during previous treatment with diuretics, restriction of table salt intake, diarrhea or vomiting. Such conditions (fluid and/or sodium deficiency) should be eliminated before starting the drug Telprez.
Double blockade of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
Concomitant use of telmisartan with aliskiren is contraindicated in patients with diabetes mellitus or renal insufficiency (glomerular filtration rate less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) (see section “Contraindications”).
Simultaneous use of telmisartan and ACE inhibitors is contraindicated in patients with diabetic nephropathy (see section “Contraindications”).
As a result of RAAS inhibition the following have been noted: arterial hypotension, syncope, hyperkalemia and renal dysfunction (including acute renal failure) in predisposed patients, especially when several drugs that also act on this system are used together. Therefore, dual RAAS blockade (e.g., against the background of telmisartan with other RAAS antagonists) is not recommended.
If the vascular tone and renal function depend mainly on the RAAS activity (for example, in patients with chronic heart failure or renal diseases including renal artery stenosis or arterial stenosis of the sole kidney), the administration of drugs that affect this system may be accompanied by acute arterial hypotension, hyperazotemia, oliguria and, in rare cases, acute renal failure.
Primary aldosteronism
In patients with primary aldosteronism the treatment with antihypertensive drugs that act by inhibiting the RAAS is generally ineffective.
Aortic and mitral valve stenosis, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy
Caution must be exercised when using Telpras (as well as other vasodilators) in patients with aortic or mitral stenosis and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
Hyperkalemia
Administration of drugs acting on the RAAS may cause hyperkalemia. In elderly patients, patients with renal insufficiency or diabetes mellitus, patients also taking medicines that increase the content of potassium in the blood plasma, and/or patients with concomitant diseases hyperkalemia can lead to fatal outcome.
When deciding on the concomitant use of drugs acting on the RAAS, it is necessary to evaluate the “risk-benefit” ratio.
The main risk factors for hyperkalemia that should be considered are:
– diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency, age (patients over 70 years);
– combination with one or more drugs acting on the RAAS and/or potassium-containing food supplements.
. Drugs or therapeutic classes of drugs that may cause hyperkalemia are salt substitutes containing potassium, potassium-saving diuretics, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, including selective COX-2 inhibitors), heparin, immunosuppressants (cyclosporine or tacrolimus) and trimethoprim;
– intercurrent diseases, especially dehydration, acute heart failure, metabolic acidosis, renal dysfunction, cytolysis syndrome (e.g., acute limb ischemia, rhabdomyolysis, extensive trauma).
Patients from the risk group are recommended to monitor closely the content of potassium in plasma (see section “Interaction with other medicinal products).
Ethnic differences
ACE inhibitors, telmisartan, and other ARAIIs appear to reduce blood pressure less effectively in patients of the Negro race than in other races, possibly due to a greater predisposition to decreased renin activity in this patient population.
Other
As with other antihypertensive agents, excessive BP reduction in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy or coronary heart disease may lead to myocardial infarction or stroke.
No special clinical studies of the effect of the drug on the ability to drive and operate machinery have been conducted. Caution should be exercised when driving a vehicle and working with mechanisms that require increased concentration, since dizziness and somnolence may rarely occur during telmisartan administration.

Overdose
Information regarding overdose is limited.
Csymptoms:the most significant are marked decrease in BP and tachycardia; bradycardia, dizziness, increased serum creatinine concentration and acute renal failure may also be observed.
Treatment:symptomatic and supportive. Suggested measures include: inducing vomiting and/or gastric lavage, taking activated charcoal, replenishing fluid and salt deficiencies. Continuous monitoring of serum electrolytes and creatinine. Hemodialysis is not effective.
Pregnancy use
Drugs acting directly on the RAAS can cause serious damage and death to the developing fetus, so if pregnancy is planned or established, the drug should be immediately withdrawn and, if necessary, an alternative hypotensive therapy with an established safety profile for use during pregnancy should be prescribed. The use of the drug during pregnancy is contraindicated.
In preclinical studies of telmisartan no teratogenic effects were found, but fetotoxicity was established. It is known that exposure to angiotensin II receptor antagonists during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy causes fetotoxicity in humans (decreased renal function, oligohydramnios, delayed cranial ossification) and neonatal toxicity (renal failure, hypotension, hyperkalemia). Alternative therapy should be administered to patients planning pregnancy. If treatment with angiotensin II receptor antagonists occurred during the second trimester of pregnancy, an ultrasound check of renal function and fetal cranial status is recommended.
Newborns whose mothers received angiotensin II receptor antagonists should be closely monitored for hypotension.
Telprez therapy is contraindicated during breastfeeding. Studies of the effect on human fertility have not been performed.
