Description:
Tasmi-AM 5/40mg is a combination medication containing Amlodipine 5mg and Atorvastatin 40mg. This dual-action therapy helps manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and high cholesterol simultaneously. Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, relaxes blood vessels to lower blood pressure, while Atorvastatin, a statin, reduces LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and increases HDL (“good”) cholesterol. Together, they support heart health, reduce cardiovascular risk, and improve overall cardiovascular function.
