Is the maximum dose different for heart outcomes (telmisartan vs hypertension)?

Telmisartan is also studied for cardiovascular risk reduction in some patients. In that context, dosing used is 80 mg once daily (the same upper dose as for hypertension). [1]

Dose adjustments may be needed in certain liver impairment situations, and prescribing should follow the product labeling and clinician judgment. Specific limits vary by indication and severity, but the labeled upper limit for routine use remains 80 mg/day. [1]
