Teltan Am 80 Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Teltan Am 80 Tablet 10 consists of two active ingredients that work together in your body:

• Amlodipine (5 mg): This ingredient is a calcium channel blocker. It functions by inhibiting the movement of calcium ions into the smooth muscle cells lining your blood vessels and heart. This action results in relaxation and widening of your blood vessels (vasodilation), reducing the resistance against which your heart needs to pump blood and lowering your blood pressure.

• Telmisartan (80 mg): This component is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. It specifically binds to a receptor subtype called AT1 in your body. By blocking the effect of angiotensin II – a substance that constricts your blood vessels and releases a hormone called aldosterone – telmisartan promotes relaxation and widening of your blood vessels (vasodilation) and reduces aldosterone-induced water retention. These actions collectively lower your blood pressure.

• Store Teltan Am 80 Tablet 10 at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep the tablets in a tightly closed container to protect from light and moisture.

• Ensure children cannot access the medication.

• Always check the expiry date before use.

• Maintain a low-salt diet as high sodium levels can increase blood pressure, worsening hypertension.

• Regular physical activity like walking or cycling can help lower blood pressure; aim for 30 minutes of moderate activity in a week.
