Telista-AMH Tablet

Introduction

Telista-AMH Tablet is a combination medication used primarily for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). This tablet contains two active ingredients, Telmisartan and Amlodipine, each working in different ways to help control blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications. Telista-AMH is typically prescribed when other treatments are not effective, offering a more comprehensive approach to managing hypertension.

Uses of Telista-AMH Tablet

• Used in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension).
• Helps prevent heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems associated with uncontrolled high blood pressure.

How Telista-AMH Tablet Works

Telista-AMH Tablet combines Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker. Telmisartan works by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing the heart to pump more easily and lowering blood pressure. Amlodipine helps relax and widen the blood vessels by blocking calcium, reducing the heart's workload and preventing complications related to high blood pressure.
