Tigatel-AM 40 Tablet is taken orally.

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.

• Store Tigatel-AM 40 Tablet at room temperature.

• Keep the medicine away from light and moisture to maintain its efficacy.

• Always keep the Tablet in its original packaging until use.

• Ensure the medicine is kept out of reach of children and pets.

• Use Tigatel-AM 40 Tablet before the expiry date printed on the pack.

• Adopt a diet low in salt, as excessive sodium intake can exacerbate high blood pressure, which this medicine aims to manage.

• Regular physical activity such as walking or cycling can help manage hypertension effectively alongside your medication. But remember, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
