Telista-AM 80 Tablet

Introduction

Telista-AM 80 Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) when a single medicine alone is not sufficient. It contains Telmisartan (80 mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels, and Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker that widens blood vessels and improves blood flow. Together, they help lower blood pressure more effectively and reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney-related complications.
