How Telindia Am Tablet works

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II effects, lowering blood pressure. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that dilates peripheral arteries by reducing calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle. Together they provide additive BP reduction.

Expert advice for Telindia Am Tablet

Blood pressure medicines work only while you take them — do not stop because you feel well. Tell your doctor at once if you become pregnant or are planning a pregnancy. Keep a home blood-pressure record if your doctor has asked for one. Raising your legs when sitting, and reducing salt, helps with ankle swelling. Do not stop suddenly without asking your doctor.
