Telmicard 5/40 Tablet is a fixed-dose combination of Amlodipine Besilate 5 mg and Telmisartan 40 mg, formulated to effectively manage hypertension (high blood pressure). This dual-action therapy combines the benefits of a calcium channel blocker and an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) to provide enhanced blood pressure control and improved cardiovascular protection.

Hypertension is a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and other serious health complications. Telmicard 5/40 Tablet helps lower and stabilize blood pressure by targeting two different mechanisms involved in vascular resistance and fluid regulation.

Composition

• Amlodipine Besilate 5 mg

• Telmisartan 40 mg

How It Works

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels by preventing calcium from entering the smooth muscle cells of the heart and arteries. This reduces vascular resistance and improves blood flow.

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels and increases blood pressure. By inhibiting this hormone, Telmisartan promotes vessel relaxation and reduces fluid retention.

The combination offers:

• Better blood pressure control compared to monotherapy

• Reduced risk of cardiovascular events

• Improved patient compliance due to single-tablet therapy
