Telmivas AM Tablet is a combination medicine containing Amlodipine Besilate and Telmisartan, used for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure). This fixed-dose combination provides enhanced and sustained blood pressure control by acting through two complementary mechanisms. It is commonly prescribed when single-agent therapy is not sufficient to achieve target blood pressure levels.

Composition

-
Amlodipine Besilate 5 mg

Telmisartan 80 mg

Mechanism of Action
This combination works through dual pathways:
-
Amlodipine: A calcium channel blocker that relaxes vascular smooth muscle by inhibiting calcium influx, leading to vasodilation and reduced peripheral resistance.
-
Telmisartan: An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that prevents vasoconstriction and aldosterone-mediated fluid retention by blocking AT1 receptors.
Together, they provide synergistic antihypertensive effects and improved cardiovascular protection.
