Description
Telmigen AM 40mg/5mg Tablet is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two active ingredients: Telmisartan and Amlodipine, which work together to lower blood pressure. By relaxing the blood vessels and improving the heart’s ability to pump blood, this medication reduces the risk of serious cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes.

Each Telmigen AM 40mg/5mg Tablet contains:
- Telmisartan – 40mg (Angiotensin Receptor Blocker, ARB)

How Telmigen AM Works
Telmigen AM 40mg/5mg Tablet combines Telmisartan and Amlodipine to lower high blood pressure:
- Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
- Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB) that helps by relaxing the smooth muscles in blood vessels, also reducing blood pressure.
Together, these two medications help to effectively control blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.
