GESARTAN-AM (ALU-ALU)
Telmisartan and Amlodipine Tablets are available with the branding “GESARTAN-AM” and are anti-hypertensive medications useful in treating hypertension or elevated blood pressure. Excessive force of blood flow through the arteries causes high blood pressure, which raises the risk of heart disease and stroke. By relaxing and expanding blood vessels, this drug facilitates blood circulation and lessens cardiac strain.
Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker that aids in further relaxing blood vessels, and Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker that stops blood vessels from narrowing, are both present in Telmisartan and Amlodipine tablets. When used together, they successfully lower blood pressure, lessen the risk of heart-related problems, and aid in the treatment of angina, or chest pain, which is brought on by coronary artery disease.
