Symtel H contains telmisartan which is an antihypertensive drug that works by preventing a chemical (angiotensin II) to bind with a receptor. This causes relaxation of blood vessels, it also prevents the synthesis and release of aldosterone (a hormone whose hyperactivity results in high blood pressure). In this way Symtel H decreases the blood pressure.

Symtel H is available in the form of tablets. A tablet is usually taken once a day, with or without food because food affects the absorption of this drug. It should be taken at exactly the same time every time to avoid skipping the dose. Symtel H might start showing the effects between 2 to 4 weeks, therefore, it is important to continue taking it even when you feel well. One should take Symtel H exactly as prescribed by their doctor.
