Anyone care to share experiences with telmisartan?

I’m interested too. Only place I’ve seen it without a script is swisschems but it’s crazy expensive.

I use it while on Test in combo with Metolar and Tadalafil. I like it!

Bumping this thread, to post a related article that seems accurate enough:

If You Use AAS Consider Telmisartan

So you’ve decided you want to use steroids, but you want to follow a harm reduction model that minimises the long-term risks of their use and the deleterious effects they may have on your health.

From the Wikipedia article on telmisartan:

Clinical trials have shown that telmisartan increases insulin sensitivity, reduces cardiac fibrosis and hypertrophy, and improves endothilial function; all these effects can be attributed to its activity on PPAR-γ.

Side Effects

Side effects include tachycardia and bradycardia (fast or slow heartbeat), hypotension (low blood pressure) and edema (swelling of arms, legs, lips, tongue, or throat, the latter leading to breathing problems). Allergic reactions may also occur.

Interactions

Due to its mechanism of action, telmisartan increases blood potassium levels. Combination with potassium preparations or potassium-sparing diuretics could cause hyperkalaemia (excessive potassium levels). Combination with NSAIDs, especially in patients with impaired kidney function, has a risk of causing (usually reversible) kidney failure.

What do you want to know? I've taken it for high blood pressure for years, not for performance enhancing. Out of all the high blood pressure medications it's unique in that it generally has a favourable metabolic profile (lots of them lead to weight gain, it doesn't). It also activates AMPK, which has favourable metabolic side effects.

Did you have any side effects or other problems with it? Any swelling?
