WINBP AM 40

About

WINBP AM 40 is a combination medication containing Telmisartan 40mg and Amlodipine. Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that lowers blood pressure by blocking the action of angiotensin II, leading to vasodilation. Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker that relaxes vascular smooth muscle, further reducing peripheral vascular resistance. This synergistic combination provides comprehensive and potent blood pressure control, making it effective for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by monotherapy. It is indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension, offering a dual mechanism of action to achieve optimal blood pressure reduction and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. The combination helps to improve patient adherence due to its once-daily dosing regimen.
