xWhat Is Am-Telsan Tablets 5mg/40mg?
Am-Telsan Tablets 5mg/40mg combine Amlodipine 5mg and Telmisartan 40mg in one tablet, made by Hilton Pharma, Pakistan. It treats high blood pressure that is not controlled by one medicine alone. Each pack contains 14 tablets (2 strips of 7). This medicine requires a prescription.
How It Works
The two medicines lower blood pressure in different ways. Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, relaxes the muscles in artery walls. Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), stops a hormone that narrows blood vessels and makes the body retain salt and water. Together they lower blood pressure more than either alone.
Uses
Treatment of essential hypertension in adults whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with amlodipine or telmisartan alone, or who already take both as separate tablets.
Dosage
One tablet once a day, at the same time each day, with or without food, or as your doctor prescribes. If more control is needed, your doctor may move you to Am-Telsan 5/80 or Am-Telsan 10/80.
Side Effects
Common effects include ankle or foot swelling, dizziness, headache, flushing and tiredness. Less often: dizziness on standing, back pain, muscle cramps, or raised potassium. Seek help for facial swelling or fainting.
Precautions
Do not use during pregnancy; stop and see your doctor if you become pregnant. Avoid if you have severe liver disease or bile duct blockage. Tell your doctor about kidney problems, heart valve disease, or if you take potassium supplements, diuretics, aliskiren or NSAID painkillers. Your doctor may check kidney function and potassium. Stand up slowly at first. Store below 30°C.
