Introduction

Telista-AM Tablet is a combination medicine used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains Telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker (CCB). Together, they help relax blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure. Managing hypertension reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems.
