Product Description
TELsartan-AM Tablet is a prescription medication designed to manage high blood pressure effectively. By combining two active ingredients, it helps relax blood vessels and enhances the heart’s ability to pump blood, reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney complications.
This medicine can be taken with or without food, but maintaining a consistent schedule each day ensures optimal results. High blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms, so it is essential to continue the treatment as prescribed, even if you feel well. Adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle—such as regular physical activity, a balanced low-salt diet, and quitting smoking—can further improve the effectiveness of this medication.

How TELsartan-AM Tablet Works
TELsartan-AM Tablet combines Telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), with Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker (CCB). Telmisartan works by preventing blood vessels from tightening, while Amlodipine relaxes the vascular smooth muscles. Together, they improve blood flow, lower blood pressure, and reduce the heart’s workload.
