How TELWIS AM 40MG TABLET Works

TELWIS AM 40MG 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.
