Description
Telmisartan 40mg + Amlodipine 5mg is a combination medication used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that also relaxes and widens blood vessels by affecting the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels. Together, they effectively lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
