Telmisartan endurance use?

[josegarcia]

Has anyone tried telmisartan in order to increase endurance? it is said by some studies that it might mimick the effects of GW1516 due to the activation of the PPAR delta and the AMPK pathway..

The study name is
Angiotensin II receptor blocker telmisartan enhances running endurance of skeletal muscle through activation of the PPAR delta/ AMPK pathway.

 

[Tonino Caricone]

At the same dose is less effective in increasing endurance, on the other hand can lower BP strongly...keep in mind!

Anyone has nay experience with it? Where can you get it?

 

[Tonino Caricone]

Telmisartan is less effective than GW, at the same dose. You can try at 40mg ED checking BP. If you already have low BP like me (100/60 approx), forget it.

The only advantage of Telmisartan, apart the relative safety, is that it isn't a banned substance.

In EU we can buy it in pharmacy (Micardis).

Why can't i use it if i already have low blood pressure?

 

[Tonino Caricone]

Because Telmisartan is an angiotensi receptor blocker, used in the management of hypertension. It also acts as a PPAR-γ/PPARδ like GW.

Is it easy to get?

 

[Tonino Caricone]

Try... it require prescription but no one I know has problems with pharmacists.

If they ask me what do i want it for, what should i say?
Also i read a while back people saying that some cyclists got dizzy because of it, is it true? How do i prevent this?

 

[Tonino Caricone]

It is a medication used to treat high blood pressure, so you may feel dizzy because it lowers blood pressure.
