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

Each tablet contains:

• Amlodipine Besilate 5 mg
• Telmisartan 80 mg

Indications

Telmivas AM Tablet is indicated for:

• Essential hypertension (moderate to severe)
• Patients not adequately controlled on monotherapy
• Combination therapy for better blood pressure control
• Reduction of cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients
• Long-term management of high blood pressure

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.
