Tenivasc Tablet 5 mg+20 mg is a combination medication used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two active ingredients: Amlodipine Besilate and Olmesartan Medoxomil, which work together to provide effective and sustained blood pressure control. This combination helps relax blood vessels, improve blood circulation, and reduce the workload on the heart.

High blood pressure is often referred to as a “silent condition” because it usually has no noticeable symptoms but can lead to serious health complications such as heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and kidney disease if left untreated. Tenivasc Tablet is prescribed when a single medication is not sufficient to control blood pressure effectively. By combining two antihypertensive agents with different mechanisms of action, it offers better blood pressure management and improved cardiovascular protection.

Composition

• Amlodipine Besilate: Equivalent to Amlodipine 5 mg

• Olmesartan Medoxomil: 20 mg

• Dosage Form: Oral tablet

• Pharmacological Class: Calcium Channel Blocker + Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB)

Mechanism of Action

Tenivasc Tablet works through the complementary actions of its two components:

Amlodipine Besilate:
Amlodipine belongs to the class of calcium channel blockers. It relaxes and widens blood vessels by preventing calcium from entering the smooth muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels. This reduces vascular resistance and improves blood flow.

Olmesartan Medoxomil:
Olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to narrow. By blocking this effect, it helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure.

Together, these two medicines provide a synergistic effect, offering more effective blood pressure control than either medication alone.
