Teslar-M Tablet 5 mg+40 mg is a combination antihypertensive medication containing Amlodipine Besilate (a calcium channel blocker) and Telmisartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker). This dual-action formula is designed to provide more effective blood pressure control in patients who do not achieve adequate results with single-drug therapy.

By combining two complementary mechanisms, Teslar-M helps relax blood vessels, improve blood flow, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.

Indications

Teslar-M Tablet is indicated for:

• Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Patients not adequately controlled with monotherapy
• Reduction of cardiovascular risks such as heart attack and stroke

Mechanism of Action

This combination works through two different pathways:

Amlodipine Besilate:

• Blocks calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle cells
• Causes relaxation and widening of blood vessels

• Prevents vasoconstriction
• Reduces aldosterone secretion and fluid retention

Together, they provide a synergistic effect for better blood pressure control.
