Telsarta-A 5/40mg Tablets
Telsarta-A 5/40mg is a combination medication containing Telmisartan 40mg and Amlodipine 5mg. This dual-action therapy helps control high blood pressure (hypertension) effectively. Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), relaxes blood vessels to lower blood pressure, while Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, dilates arteries and improves blood flow. Together, they reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney complications, supporting overall cardiovascular health.
