Does Telmisartan Cause Frequent And Painful Urination?
I note that Telmisartan has reported side effects of painful urination and increased frequency. Having tken at 80mgm daily for some months and now having recent symptoms as above I have been prescribed Tamsulosin which also causes some degree of hypotension. Is reduction of telmisartan to 60 mgm. sensible idea?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Telmisartan usually cause a decreased urination.
So,the increased urination probably is not caused by Telmisartan.
An urinalysis and an ultrasound should be done.
I suggest to consult an urologist for further evaluation.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
