General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi & Welcome to HCM.
Eritel (Telmisartan) is the medication which is commonly prescribed to treat high BP. Besides, it is also used in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus to prevent kidney complications related to diabetes. So, it can be prescribed to patients with high BP even without diabetes.
Since this is a prescription medication, you have to consult a GP for an alternate brand of Telmisartan like Micardis.
Hope this will solve your problem.
