Description:
Misar AM (40/5mg) Tablets combine Telmisartan (40mg) and Amlodipine (5mg) to provide dual-action blood pressure control. Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), relaxes blood vessels by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, while Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker (CCB), widens blood vessels to improve blood flow. Together, they effectively manage hypertension, prevent cardiovascular complications, and reduce strain on the heart.
