How it works

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II action. Ramipril is an ACE inhibitor that reduces formation of angiotensin II and lowers aldosterone, further decreasing vascular resistance. Together they reduce blood pressure more effectively than either alone.
