TELMA-AMH 40MG TABLET

Uses and Benefits of TELMA-AMH 40MG TABLET (Telmisartan 40mg + Amlodipine 5mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg)

This combination medicine is mainly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in patients who need more than one medicine to keep their blood pressure under control.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Managing high blood pressure (hypertension)
• Used when a single blood pressure medicine is not enough to control blood pressure
• May be used as part of long-term blood pressure management

HOW IT WORKS

• Telmisartan blocks a hormone (angiotensin II) that tightens blood vessels, helping them relax
• Amlodipine relaxes and widens blood vessels by blocking calcium entry into vessel walls
• Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill) that helps the kidneys remove extra salt and water, lowering blood volume
• Together, these three actions lower blood pressure more effectively than one medicine alone

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Not used for immediate relief of a sudden, severe rise in blood pressure (hypertensive emergency)
• Not a treatment for heart attack or stroke that has already occurred
• Not used for infections, pain relief, or fever
• Not recommended for use in pregnancy
