Telesky AM 80mg/5mg Tablet

Telesky AM 80mg/5mg Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two active ingredients: Telmisartan (80 mg) and Amlodipine (5 mg). Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), while Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB). Together, they help relax and widen blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. This helps reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. Telesky AM is commonly prescribed when a single medication is not enough to control blood pressure effectively.
