How it works:
Amlopres TL Tablet works by combining two antihypertensive drugs that perform well together:
Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that opens up and relaxes blood vessels, which makes blood flow better and makes the heart work less.
Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that stops angiotensin II from working. Angiotensin II is a chemical that makes blood vessels smaller. This makes it easier for blood to flow and decreases blood pressure.
They work better together to manage blood pressure and lower the risk of heart problems.

Salt alternatives or potassium supplements can make your potassium levels too high.
NSAIDs (such ibuprofen and diclofenac) may make the blood pressure-lowering effect less strong.
Diuretics (water pills) can make you dehydrated or hurt your kidneys.
Other blood pressure-lowering medicines may make blood pressure drop too low.
Alcohol makes you feel more dizzy and increases your chances of passing out.
Always tell your doctor about any vitamins, supplements, or herbal products you are using.
