Telcros AM Tablet

Telcros AM Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines two effective ingredients: Telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker (CCB). Together, they help relax and widen the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. Controlling blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Telcros AM is usually prescribed when a single medicine is not sufficient to control blood pressure effectively.
