Telmisartan + Amlodipine Tablets

Description

Telmisartan and amlodipine are medicines that can be used together or separately to help lower high blood pressure. If it lasts for a long time, the heart and blood vessels may not work well. This can harm the blood vessels in the brain, heart, and kidneys, which may lead to a stroke, heart problems, or kidney problems. 

Telmisartan is a type of medicine that helps block a substance in the body called angiotensin II. It works by stopping a substance in the body that makes blood vessels squeeze tighter. This causes the blood vessels to loosen, which lowers blood pressure. When blood pressure goes down, more blood and oxygen flow to the heart.

Amlodipine is a type of medicine that helps relax and widen blood vessels by blocking calcium. It influences how calcium moves into the heart and blood vessel cells. Amlodipine helps to relax the blood vessels, which allows more blood and oxygen to flow to the heart and makes it easier for the heart to work.

Take this medicine as your doctor prescribed. Swallow it all at once. Don’t bite, crush, or break it. You can take Telmisartan+Amlodipine Tablet with food or without it, but it’s best to take it at the same time every day.
