TELLZY AH TABLET

Uses and Benefits of TELLZY AH TABLET (TELMISARTAN 40MG+AMLODIPINE 5MG+ HCTZ 12.5MG)

This combination medicine is mainly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) that is not adequately controlled by a single medicine.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Long-term control of high blood pressure
• Used when blood pressure is not controlled by one or two medicines alone
• Helps reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney problems linked to high blood pressure

HOW IT WORKS

• Telmisartan blocks a hormone (angiotensin II) that tightens blood vessels, helping them relax
• Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels
• Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill) that helps the kidneys remove extra salt and water, reducing fluid volume in blood vessels
• Together these three actions lower blood pressure more effectively than a single medicine

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Not used for immediate relief of a sudden dangerously high blood pressure episode
• Not a treatment for chest pain occurring suddenly (angina attack)
• Not used for general body swelling unrelated to blood pressure
