How INDITEL AM 80/5MG TABLET Works

INDITEL AM 80/5MG TABLET is a combination of two medications namely, amlodipine
and telmisartan. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing
the blood vessels and improving blood flow by preventing calcium from entering
the muscles of the heart and arteries, which helps to lower blood pressure.
Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), which blocks the
hormone angiotensin II, preventing it from tightening blood vessels. This also
helps relax the blood vessels and reduce blood pressure. Together, these two
drugs provide better control of high blood pressure.
