Composition of Drug

How does the Drug work
◉Telmisartan 40mg and Amlodipine 5mg are two different medications used to treat high blood pressure. They work in different ways to help lower blood pressure.
◉ Telmisartan belongs to a class of medications called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). It works by blocking the action of a hormone called angiotensin II, which constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure. By blocking the action of this hormone, telmisartan helps to relax and widen the blood vessels, which allows blood to flow more easily and lowers blood pressure.
◉ Amlodipine belongs to a class of medications called calcium channel blockers (CCBs). It works by blocking the entry of calcium into the smooth muscle cells in the walls of blood vessels, which helps to relax and widen the blood vessels. This also allows blood to flow more easily and lowers blood pressure.
◉ When taken together, telmisartan and amlodipine work synergistically to lower blood pressure. By blocking both the action of angiotensin II and the entry of calcium into the smooth muscle cells, these medications help to relax and widen the blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure even further than either medication alone.
