What's happening
Telmisartan is currently affected by 3 active shortage reports filed with Health Canada by TEVA CANADA LIMITED, BIOMED PHARMA.
The reported causes are: disruption of the manufacture of the drug; other (please describe in comments). Manufacturers must report shortages, but end-date estimates are their own projections and often move.
If your usual product is affected, a pharmacist is the fastest route to a solution: they can dispense an unaffected manufacturer's equivalent when one exists, and in most provinces can adapt doses or substitute a therapeutic alternative without a new appointment.
Telmisartan is classified under “ANGIOTENSIN II ANTAGONISTS, PLAIN” (ATC C09CA).
