Misar AM (80/5mg) 14 Tablets – Advanced Dual Therapy for Blood Pressure Control (Telmisartan + Amlodipine)

Description:

Misar AM (80/5mg) Tablets combine two potent antihypertensive agents — Telmisartan (80mg) and Amlodipine (5mg) — offering powerful and long-lasting control of high blood pressure (hypertension). Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels, while Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB) that widens arteries to enhance blood flow. Together, they reduce the workload on the heart, prevent complications like stroke and heart attack, and help maintain optimal cardiovascular health.
