Telmicard 5/80 Tablet is a combination antihypertensive medication containing Amlodipine Besilate 5 mg and Telmisartan 80 mg. It is specially formulated to provide effective and sustained control of high blood pressure (hypertension) in patients who require combination therapy for optimal results.

Hypertension is often a silent condition that increases the risk of serious health complications such as heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and heart failure. Telmicard 5/80 Tablet works through two complementary mechanisms to relax blood vessels, reduce vascular resistance, and maintain stable blood pressure throughout the day.

Composition

• Amlodipine Besilate 5 mg

• Telmisartan 80 mg

Mechanism of Action

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that prevents calcium ions from entering the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels. This leads to relaxation and widening of the arteries, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure.

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone responsible for narrowing blood vessels and increasing blood pressure. By inhibiting this effect, Telmisartan promotes vasodilation and reduces fluid retention.

The higher 80 mg dose of Telmisartan provides stronger and more sustained blood pressure control for patients who need additional therapeutic support.
