Telmisartan 40mg + Amlodipine 5mg

About Telmisartan 40mg + Amlodipine 5mg

TELMISTRUM AM is a combination medication designed to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) effectively. By combining two powerful antihypertensive agents, Telmisartan and Amlodipine, TELMISTRUM AM provides a comprehensive approach to blood pressure control, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events such as strokes and heart attacks.

Key Ingredients:

• Telmisartan 40mg: Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and lowering blood pressure.
• Amlodipine 5mg: Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB) that relaxes the heart muscles and blood vessels, further aiding in the reduction of blood pressure.

Key Benefits:

• Effective Blood Pressure Control: Combines two antihypertensive agents to ensure more effective and sustained blood pressure reduction.
• Cardiovascular Protection: Reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular complications associated with hypertension.
• Improved Compliance: Simplifies medication regimen by combining two medications into one pill, improving patient adherence.
• Vasodilation: Both ingredients work to relax and widen blood vessels, enhancing blood flow and reducing the workload on the heart.
• Long-term Management: Suitable for long-term management of hypertension with a well-established safety profile.

How Does It Work?

TELMISTRUM AM works by utilizing the complementary mechanisms of Telmisartan and Amlodipine:

• Telmisartan: As an ARB, Telmisartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict. By inhibiting this action, Telmisartan helps blood vessels relax and widen, reducing blood pressure.
• Amlodipine: Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, inhibits the influx of calcium ions into the smooth muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels. This action prevents muscle contraction, promoting relaxation and dilatation of blood vessels, further lowering blood pressure.

Directions for Use:

• Dosage: Follow the prescribed dosage by your healthcare provider. Typically, one tablet daily is recommended.
• Administration: Take the tablet with water, preferably at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels.
• Food: TELMISTRUM AM can be taken with or without food.
• Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Side Effects:

While TELMISTRUM AM is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:

• Common Side Effects:

  • Headache

  • Swelling of ankles or feet (edema)
  • Flushing
  • Fatigue
