Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. I do not know from where you have gathered the information about Telmisartnan causing "kidney damage". In fact these group of drugs (ARBs) and ACE- Is are considered safest of blood pressure reducing drugs. Since your BP is well controlled, there is no reason to reduce the dosage. Telmisartan is shown to reduce proteinuria and help improve Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), which an indication of kidney function. Thanks.
