How Amlopres TL Tablet works

Amlopres TL Tablet contains Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker (CCB). Telmisartan relaxes blood vessels by blocking a hormone that causes narrowing, while Amlodipine prevents calcium from entering the heart and blood vessel cells, further relaxing the vessels. Together, they lower blood pressure and improve blood flow.
