Telsite AM Tablet

Introduction

Telsite AM Tablet is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and manage certain heart conditions. It contains two active ingredients: Telmisartan and Amlodipine. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels, while Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that lowers blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels and improving blood flow. This combination helps control blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems.

How Telsite AM Tablet Works

Telsite AM Tablet works by combining two medications that act in different ways to lower blood pressure. Telmisartan blocks the action of a substance that narrows blood vessels, allowing them to relax.
