Telmisartan + Amlodipine Tablet

Telmisartan + Amlodipine Tablet

Telmisartan + amlodipine is an anti-hypertensive drug, especially prescribed to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). Hypertension is a health condition where blood pressure remains abnormally elevated in the arteries. It has been regarded as a key risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Telmisartan + amlodipine reduces blood pressure by dilating and relaxing blood vessels.

Telmisartan + amlodipine is a combination drug that contains two drugs, i.e., Telmisartan and Amlodipine. Telmisartan is a class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor antagonists. It reduces blood pressure and enhances blood flow by inhibiting the constriction of blood vessels. It is used to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and mortality. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that widens blood vessels and increases blood flow. Overall, it reduces high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and other conditions associated with coronary artery disease.
