Telkum AM 40mg/5mg Tablet 1*10

Product Introduction
Telkum AM 40mg/5mg Tablet contains two medicines, Telmisartan and Amlodipine, which help control high blood pressure. It lowers blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels and making it easier for the heart to pump blood, reducing the risk of heart attack or stroke. The tablet may be taken on an empty stomach or with food, preferably at the same time each day as prescribed by your doctor. It is important to continue taking it even if you feel well. Lifestyle modifications such as staying active, quitting smoking, and following a low-salt, low-fat diet can improve the effectiveness of this medicine.
