Active Ingredients
-
Telmisartan (40mg): An Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) that relaxes and widens blood vessels.
-
Amlodipine (5mg): A Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB) that prevents blood vessels from constricting, improving overall blood flow.
-
Hydrochlorothiazide / HCTZ (12.5mg): A diuretic ("water pill") that helps the kidneys remove excess salt and fluid from the body.
