Welcome to Chat Doctor ...sir it is classical reaction to telmisartan .it will be seen with all telmisartan losartan losartan candesartan and Chat Doctor. .but if swelling is coming daily and persistent for 12 hours please request your doctor to replace tartan or decrease dose in addition you may go for level of C1 esterase but if dose cannot be decreased then you should have prefilled epinephrine syringe with you as this has to be injected by self if swelling increases, and you face breathing difficulty with regards
