CINOD T 10'S

About

This medication combines Amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, with Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), to provide comprehensive management for hypertension. Amlodipine works by relaxing blood vessels, reducing peripheral resistance and lowering blood pressure, while also improving blood flow to the heart. Telmisartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, leading to further vasodilation and a reduction in blood pressure. The synergistic action of these two agents targets different pathways involved in blood pressure regulation, offering enhanced antihypertensive efficacy compared to monotherapy. This combination is particularly beneficial for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with either agent alone, providing sustained 24-hour blood pressure control and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.
