Telsarta-A 5/80mg Tablets
Telsarta-A 5/80mg is a high-potency combination medication containing Telmisartan 80mg and Amlodipine 5mg. This dual-action therapy provides effective management of high blood pressure (hypertension) while offering comprehensive cardiovascular protection. Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), relaxes blood vessels to lower blood pressure, and Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, dilates arteries to improve blood flow. Together, they help prevent heart attack, stroke, and kidney complications while supporting overall heart health.
