Here are the instructions on how to use Ozotel-AM Tablet:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Avoid chewing or breaking it.

• Do not adjust your dose without consulting your doctor.

• Remember, it's important not to stop taking this medicine without speaking to your doctor first.

Ozotel-AM Tablet is taken orally.

Ozotel-AM Tablet contains two active ingredients which work in tandem to manage hypertension:

• Amlodipine (5 mg): This component is a calcium channel blocker. It works by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into certain muscles in your body - those found in your heart and your blood vessels. As a result of this action, your blood vessels relax and widen, reducing the resistance they offer to blood flow. This ultimately leads to lower blood pressure.

• Telmisartan (40 mg): This ingredient is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It selectively blocks the binding of a substance called angiotensin II to certain receptors in various tissues. Angiotensin II is a potent substance that narrows your blood vessels. By blocking its effects, telmisartan helps widen your blood vessels, thereby reducing your blood pressure. Additionally, telmisartan also hinders the release of aldosterone, a hormone that can increase blood pressure.

• Store Ozotel-AM Tablet in a dry place, shielded from light and moisture.

• Maintain an ideal room temperature of 20°C to 25°C.

• Always keep the medicine out of reach of children and pets.

• Use the tablet before its expiry date.

• Limit your intake of high-sodium foods. Reducing salt in your diet can help manage hypertension, which the Ozotel-AM Tablet helps control.

• Be cautious with potassium-rich foods or supplements. As telmisartan, a component in the Ozotel-AM Tablet, can increase blood potassium levels, it's advisable to take potassium under medical supervision only.
