Uses / Indications 

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Avoiding heart problems in people who are at high risk
• Handling left ventricular hypertrophy caused by high blood pressure
• Combination therapy when one drug isn't enough
• Chronic kidney disease (CKD) with high blood pressure (under doctor's care)
• Heart failure adjunct therapy (based on clinical condition)

 How It Works

• Telmisartan (ARB):
• Stops angiotensin II receptors
• Stops blood vessels from getting smaller
• Lowers blood pressure and keeps the heart and kidneys safe.
• CCB: Amlodipine
• Stops calcium channels in smooth muscle in blood vessels
• Lowers blood pressure and opens up blood vessels.
• Lowers blood pressure and makes the heart work less hard.
• The combined result is better management of blood pressure and protection of the heart and blood vessels.

 How to Use

• Follow your doctor's instructions exactly.
• Once a day, with or without food
• Take the tablet with water and swallow it whole.
• Don't stop all at once; this could cause your blood pressure to go up.

• If your kidneys or liver aren't working properly, you may need to change your dose.
