Telista-AM Tablet

Introduction

Telista-AM Tablet is a combination medicine prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains Telmisartan, which belongs to the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) group, and Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker (CCB). The combination works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, and improving blood circulation. This helps reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney-related problems.
