TELEACT AM TABLET 10'S

How TELEACT AM TABLET 10'S Works

• TELEACT AM TABLET 10'S is a combination medication designed to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) effectively. It combines two active ingredients, Telmisartan and Amlodipine, each working through different mechanisms to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
• Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Angiotensin II is a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, increasing blood pressure. Telmisartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, thereby allowing blood vessels to relax and widen. This vasodilation reduces the resistance in blood vessels, leading to a decrease in blood pressure. By blocking angiotensin II, Telmisartan also helps to reduce the release of aldosterone, a hormone that causes the kidneys to retain sodium and water, further contributing to blood pressure reduction. The overall effect of Telmisartan is a smoother, more sustained control of blood pressure, reducing the strain on the heart and arteries.
• Amlodipine, on the other hand, is a calcium channel blocker. It works by preventing calcium from entering the smooth muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels. Calcium is essential for muscle contraction, so by blocking its entry, Amlodipine causes the smooth muscles to relax. In the heart, this reduces the force of contraction and the workload on the heart. In the blood vessels, it promotes vasodilation, widening the arteries and reducing peripheral resistance. This makes it easier for the heart to pump blood, further lowering blood pressure. Amlodipine is particularly effective at reducing systolic blood pressure, the top number in a blood pressure reading, and is known for its long-lasting effects.
• The combination of Telmisartan and Amlodipine in TELEACT AM TABLET 10'S provides a synergistic effect, meaning that the two drugs work together to achieve a greater blood pressure reduction than either drug could achieve alone. Telmisartan's action on the renin-angiotensin system complements Amlodipine's calcium channel blocking mechanism, addressing different pathways involved in blood pressure regulation. This dual-action approach is particularly beneficial for individuals who require more than one medication to control their hypertension effectively.
• By effectively lowering blood pressure, TELEACT AM TABLET 10'S helps to reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular complications such as stroke, heart attack, kidney problems, and heart failure. Regular use, as prescribed by a healthcare professional, along with lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management, can significantly improve cardiovascular health and overall well-being. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and schedule and to consult with a doctor regarding any concerns or side effects experienced while taking TELEACT AM TABLET 10'S.

Common side effects of TELEACT AM Tablet may include headache, dizziness, fatigue, sleepiness, nausea, flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck and trunk), palpitations, ankle swelling, and indigestion. Less common but potentially serious side effects include a severe drop in blood pressure, fainting, increased heart rate, chest pain, muscle cramps or weakness, joint pain, difficulty breathing or swallowing, skin rash or itching, and changes in liver function tests. Other possible side effects are changes in mood, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, tremors, visual disturbances, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), increased sweating, hair loss, and sexual dysfunction. This is not an exhaustive list, and it is important to consult your doctor or pharmacist if you experience any unusual or bothersome symptoms while taking TELEACT AM Tablet.
