How it works

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II action. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that dilates arteries by reducing calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle. Together they lower blood pressure more effectively than either alone.
