What is Telmisartan-Amlodipine?
Telmisartan-Amlodipine is a generic prescription drug that reduces blood pressure in patients diagnosed with high blood pressure (hypertension). Telmisartan-Amlodipine combines two different blood pressure medications that reduce blood pressure using different mechanisms.
Amlodipine belongs to a class of blood pressure medications called calcium channel blockers. Amlodipine lowers blood pressure by reducing the force of the heart's contractions and relaxing the arteries.
Telmisartan belongs to a class of blood pressure medications called angiotensin receptor blockers, or ARBs. Angiotensin is a protein that causes the muscles in blood vessels to contract, narrowing the passage through the blood vessel. Telmisartan blocks that protein, causing the blood vessels to get wider. As a result, the blood pressure within them goes down.
As a combination blood pressure drug, Telmisartan-Amlodipine is usually prescribed for patients whose blood pressure has not responded to single-drug therapy.
What are the side effects of Telmisartan-Amlodipine?

Allergic reactions are rare and include swelling and itching.
