Telma-AM Tablet

Description

Product Details

Telma-AM is a prescription medication commonly used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines two active ingredients:

1. Telmisartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker, ARB): Helps lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, preventing narrowing, and improving blood flow.
2. Amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker, CCB): Relaxes the blood vessel walls and improves blood circulation by reducing the workload on the heart.
