Telmisartan dosages on cycle

[Vitko]

Just picked up some telmisartan from GG (40mg x 60 tabs) seeing so many mixed opinions online on dosages and timing so figured I’d ask you guys here.
What’s the best dosage to take and at what time? Should I split the 40mg into 20mg and take it in the morning and then at night? Or take the whole 40 in the am or pm? Thanks.
Looking to just maintain healthy BP and overall heart health with it while on my cycle.

Clinically doctors will start patients at 40mg. If you're not actually hypertensive and are just using it for its secondary benefits, I'd recommend starting at 20mg just to make sure it doesn't make you hypotensive. No need to split the dose, one dose AM or PM.

Thanks bro, my bp is usually almost always in range very rarely will be just slightly elevated (130/90) ish) so you think taking that into consideration to just do a 1 20mg dose daily?

in that case I think it's probably best to start at 20mg for a week or so and monitor your BP. If you dont see any modulation, I'd bump it up to 40mg but I dont see any point in increasing past that unless you're attempting to lower your BP.

Thanks for the insight

40mg before bed is what I do.

If your bp is only spiking to 130/90 ( I suppose depending on where it usually sits) I wouldn't add the drugs to be honest.

130/90 on cycle isn't ugly. Sometimes less is more and throwing more drugs at something isn't really the best answer.

my attitude today might be on the bitchy side including my posts here so please take this as well intended, it may be even misdirected so I'll speak generally but it's for your consideration.

Sometimes guys are either predisposed to certain behaviours or lose self awareness and get of track. Myself for example many years ago I woke up one day fat. It's not like I lost a bunch of muscle and gained 40+ pounds of blubber though right?
Sometimes in this game becoming aware of what certain chemicals can do for you folks will chase symptoms caused by other chemicals or behaviours with more chemicals - "chasing drugs with drugs".

Being a low dose polypharmacy advocate in general I've become aware of how such a practice requires a high level of attention to avoid fucking shit up. Read numbers in the past that in NA over 70% of medical interventions are the result of previous medical interventions. Even if that seems high and definitely must be speculative I'd feel pretty solid in agreeing that 25-30% of medications end up being connected to previous medication use.

Whether you can see the logic in that or not and considering for the most part meatheads are taking drugs they don't initially need I personally wouldn't be adding a BP drug into the mix if rarely at 130/90 all drugs have sides. It may be appropriate but they keep moving the high BP suggested numbers down, I think 2 years ago that would have been pre-hyper and I'm pretty sure 10 years ago not even that.

TLDR Nothing comes without a cost and a little pause and self reflection never hurt anyone.

EDIT !!!!! @BanditNOLIMIT and @Vitko I am having a brain dead day today holy shit! I see know that I replied to the wrong post, meant to reply to Vitko not Bandit, sorry for any confusion! Picked a bad day to stop smoking crack. And Meth. And Glue. And Pam. And Thongs.

I'm 100% in agreement with you here and I actually don't think OP should be using BP meds period without hypertension. However, he asked how to implement it under these circumstances, not IF he should implement it. I'm not on here to gate keep people from using X, y, z drug, rather steer them in the right direction in using them because majority of the time they have their mind's set on doing so.

Understood , even before this post, you are always pretty clear to me even when you don't state such things explicitly, Cheers Sir.
