Telmivas AM Tablet is a combination of Amlodipine Besilate and Telmisartan used for the effective management of high blood pressure (hypertension). This dual-action therapy helps relax blood vessels and improve blood flow, providing better and more sustained blood pressure control compared to single-agent treatment. It is commonly prescribed when monotherapy is not sufficient to achieve target blood pressure levels.

Composition

Mechanism of Action
This combination works through two complementary mechanisms:
-
Amlodipine (Calcium Channel Blocker): Relaxes and widens blood vessels by inhibiting calcium influx into vascular smooth muscle, reducing vascular resistance.
-
Telmisartan (ARB): Blocks angiotensin II receptors, preventing vasoconstriction and reducing aldosterone-mediated fluid retention.
Together, they provide synergistic blood pressure reduction and improved cardiovascular protection.
