Telmevas-AM Tablet

Telmevas-AM Tablet – Telmisartan with Amlodipine for Hypertension

Telmevas-AM from Biochem Pharmaceutical Industries pairs Telmisartan 40 mg, an angiotensin receptor blocker, with Amlodipine 5 mg, a calcium channel blocker – one of the most widely prescribed two-drug combinations for hypertension. The two act through different mechanisms: telmisartan blocks the hormone signal that narrows blood vessels, while amlodipine relaxes the vessel walls directly, together improving how efficiently the heart pumps against a lower resistance. It is prescribed when a single blood pressure medicine has not achieved the target reading. Strip of 10 tablets.
