      How Tsart Am Tablet 15 Works?

      Tsart Am Tablet 15 contains two active ingredients:

      • Telmisartan (40 mg): Telmisartan works as an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It selectively blocks the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors in vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland. This action inhibits the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II, thereby reducing blood pressure.

      • Amlodipine (5 mg): This component acts as a calcium channel blocker in your body. It hinders the influx of calcium ions into your vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiac muscle cells, leading to vasodilation or widening of blood vessels. As a result, there’s decreased peripheral vascular resistance and a reduction in blood pressure.

      Together, these two ingredients work synergistically to effectively lower high blood pressure.
