Tigatel AM 40 mg Tablet (20 Tab)

Tigatel AM Tablet

Tigatel AM Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It helps relax blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood, which reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems.

Uses:

• Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)

Benefits:

• The combination of Telmisartan (an ARB) and Amlodipine (a CCB) works together to lower blood pressure effectively.
• Helps reduce strain on the heart and improves blood flow throughout the body.
• Regular use lowers the long-term risk of cardiovascular complications.
• Supports overall heart and kidney health.

How it works:

• Telmisartan blocks a chemical that tightens blood vessels, helping them relax.
• Amlodipine helps widen blood vessels and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood.
• Together, they control blood pressure more effectively than either medicine alone.

How to use:

• Take as prescribed by your doctor, swallow whole.
• Can be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same time every day.
• If a dose is missed, skip it and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

• Sleepiness or dizziness
