Overview
This medicine is used to help control high blood pressure (hypertension). By lowering blood pressure, it reduces the strain on the heart and blood vessels, helping prevent complications like heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.
How It Works
The active ingredients work together in three ways:
- Telmisartan relaxes blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow.
- Amlodipine helps widen blood vessels, reducing resistance and improving blood flow.
- Hydrochlorothiazide is a mild diuretic that helps remove excess water and salt from the body, lowering blood pressure.
