In general, the tablet strength doesn\u2019t influence the price much, so $170 is about right no matter what the prescription.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$170 per month may be expensive. In a year, it will add up to almost $2,000. People with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">health insurance<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, of course, will not have to pay a significant fraction of that cost, but it\u2019s difficult to nail down the exact out-of-pocket costs for insured patients. It\u2019s a good guess to expect the out-of-pocket cost to be reasonable with insurance coverage. Insurance formularies generally classify <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">telmisartan<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a preferred or Tier 1 drug, so the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">copay<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> cost will be low after all deductibles, coinsurance, and any coverage gaps have been resolved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One way to reduce the cost is to ask the prescribing <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">healthcare<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provider about alternative and less expensive <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FDA<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-approved treatments. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telmisartan<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> belongs to a class of drugs called <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">angiotensin II receptor blockers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ARBs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

As a result, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blood vessels<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> widen and blood pressure goes down. Among the generic <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ARBs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">telmisartan<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of the priciest.

In addition, some of these drugs may be prescribed along with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">telmisartan<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
