Tigatel-AM 40 Tablet consists of two active ingredients:

• Telmisartan (40 mg): As an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), Telmisartan obstructs the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor found in various tissues. This action inhibits the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II, leading to a further reduction in your blood pressure.

• Amlodipine (5 mg): This ingredient acts as a calcium channel blocker. It works by stopping calcium ions from entering the cells of your heart and blood vessel walls. This action relaxes and widens your blood vessels, reducing resistance and ultimately decreasing your blood pressure.
