Amtel 80mg/5mg Tablets combine two antihypertensive medicines with complementary mechanisms of action. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, while amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that widens blood vessels and improves blood flow.
This fixed-dose combination provides effective blood pressure control for adults requiring dual therapy. Maintaining healthy blood pressure helps reduce the long-term risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and kidney disease.
