Hello,

Telmisartan 80 mg is the same drug group as Losartan 100 mg called angiotensin receptor blockers. They do the same job, so it is safe to take it as long as there is no telmisartan in stock.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
