HOW TELMIDIL AM TABLET WORKS

TELMIDIL AM TABLET is a combination of two medications namely, amlodipine and telmisartan. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing the blood vessels and improving blood flow by preventing calcium from entering the muscles of the heart and arteries, which helps to lower blood pressure. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), which blocks the hormone angiotensin II, preventing it from tightening blood vessels. This also helps relax the blood vessels and reduce blood pressure. Together, these two drugs provide better control of high blood pressure.
