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 (dihydropyridine) that widens blood vessels by inhibiting calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle. Together they lower blood pressure effectively.
