TELMODOR A 80/5 10S

About

TELMODOR A 80/5 is a potent fixed-dose combination medication that contains a higher dose of Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), along with Amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB). This formulation is specifically indicated for the treatment of severe essential hypertension or in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by lower doses of combination therapy. Telmisartan effectively blocks the renin-angiotensin system, preventing the actions of angiotensin II, which results in significant vasodilation. Amlodipine further contributes by relaxing vascular smooth muscle, leading to substantial peripheral vasodilation and a reduction in blood pressure. The synergistic action of these two agents provides robust and sustained blood pressure reduction, addressing multiple pathways involved in hypertension and offering a comprehensive solution for patients requiring aggressive blood pressure management.

• Treatment of severe essential hypertension.
• Management of hypertension requiring aggressive control.
