Uses of Ibtel Am 40MG Tab

Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), especially when single-drug therapy is not adequate; helps reduce risk of cardiovascular events associated with uncontrolled BP.

• •Lowers high blood pressure

• •Provides better BP control than single drug
• •Helps protect kidneys and blood vessels with long-term BP control

How it works

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II–mediated vasoconstriction and aldosterone effects. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that reduces calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle, causing vasodilation. Together they lower blood pressure more effectively than either alone.
