What is the difference between a 40 mg and a 20 mg dose of Tezeo?

As a first step, I would like to clarify that Tezeo does not come in a 20 mg dose, but in 40 mg and 80 mg doses. Tezeo, 40 mg is, however, in the form of a tablet, which can be divided into equal doses to obtain two halves, each containing 20 mg telmisartan.

Tezeo 40 mg contains twice as much active ingredient telmisartan in one tablet as Tezeo 20 mg. The symbol "mg" here refers to the unit of measurement - milligrams. 40 milligrams of telmisartan is twice as strong as 20 milligrams, in practice the drug is twice as potent. The half-life of the drug is not affected by the dose.

The biological half-life of a drug in the elimination phase depends only on the elimination rate constant and is specific to the active substance in question. However, it can be affected by factors such as gender, race, age, or general health. The elimination process of telmisartan is characterized by a curve with a half-life of more than 20 hours.
