A member asked:
After a heart stent , why am i prescribed sartel 20 even when my bp is normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can ask the doctor: Sartel is telmisartan, a drug used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. Telmisartan is also used by doctors to decrease the chance of heart attack, stroke, or death in people who are at high risk for cardiovascular disease. There may be other, more individualized, reasons a doctor is giving a patient Sartel.
