Is telmisartan available in the UK on NHS?

Mechanism of action
Telmisartan belongs to a class of medications called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). It acts on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict. By blocking the effects of angiotensin II, telmisartan helps relax blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure.
Uses of telmisartan
Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, primarily used for the management of high blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure helps reduce blood pressure in individuals with hypertension. By maintaining blood pressure within a healthy range in hypertensive patients, it can help reduce the risk of heart disease and cardiovascular events, such as damage to blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, congestive heart failure, heart attack and stroke.
