TELVAS AM 80 MG ATB 10 S

About

Telvas AM 80 mg ATB combines Telmisartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) and Amlodipine (a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker). Telmisartan works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, leading to relaxation of blood vessels and a reduction in blood pressure. Amlodipine inhibits the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, causing peripheral arterial vasodilation and a reduction in peripheral vascular resistance, which also lowers blood pressure. This combination provides a comprehensive approach to managing hypertension by targeting different physiological pathways.

This fixed-dose combination is indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension, particularly in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with either Telmisartan or Amlodipine alone. The synergistic action of these two agents results in a more pronounced and sustained reduction in blood pressure, helping to minimize the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease. Its once-daily dosing regimen enhances patient adherence and simplifies treatment.

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Alcohol may enhance the hypotensive effects and increase the risk of dizziness or lightheadedness. Limit alcohol consumption while on this medication.
• Pregnancy - Telvas AM 80 mg ATB is contraindicated during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, due to the risk of fetal injury or death from the ARB component.
• Breastfeeding - Not recommended during breastfeeding as both Telmisartan and Amlodipine may be excreted in breast milk and could potentially harm the infant.
• Liver - Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment. Dose adjustment may be necessary for both Telmisartan and Amlodipine components.
• Kidney - Use with caution in patients with renal impairment. Monitor renal function closely, and dose adjustment may be required.
• Lung - Generally considered safe for use in patients with lung conditions, as neither Telmisartan nor Amlodipine typically cause specific respiratory side effects.
