Abstract: Telmisartan is a Cardiovascular drug used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and diabetic kidney disease and belongs to the Angiotensin II receptor blocker. The drug absorption varies in different patients from the gut. Selected brands of Telmisartan IP 40 mg were procured from the market with the same label claim amount of drug for quality control test. Various quality control tests such as weight variation, friability, disintegration, dissolution and uniformity content were performed as per Indian Pharmacopeia. The quality control tests were done for five different brands of Telmisartan IP marketed Products. The result proved that the Telmisartan IP 40 mg, varies with disintegration, dissolution, uniformity content tests but within the limit. Further studies are needed to support the variation in the quality control test with human volunteers.
