Can Telmix cause neck and jugular vein pain?

Telmix (telmisartan) rarely causes neck pain or discomfort in the jugular veins, but it can lower blood pressure, which sometimes causes symptoms of dizziness, weakness or a feeling of muscle tension.

If neck pain or a feeling in the jugular veins appeared after starting therapy, it is worth consulting a doctor – it may be a symptom not directly related to the drug or indicating other conditions. If you experience swelling, difficulty breathing, severe pain or other worrying symptoms, contact your doctor immediately, as Telmix may cause rare but serious allergic reactions such as angioedema. Do not discontinue the drug without first consulting your doctor.

Please remember that side effects of medications should be reported to your doctor or individually. By reporting side effects, you help other patients, including your relatives, who may also need the same drug one day. This step also allows us to gather more information on the safety of medicinal products and update data on them. We wrote about how to do it here:
