Description
Amtel 80/5 Tablets contain a combination of telmisartan and amlodipine, used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that prevents blood vessel constriction, while amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels. Together, they help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart-related complications. The usual dosage is one tablet taken once daily, with or without food. Common side effects include dizziness, headache, swelling of the legs or ankles, and tiredness. Serious side effects may include severe allergic reactions, liver problems, and significant drops in blood pressure. Patients with kidney or liver disease, heart problems, or high potassium levels should use this medication with caution. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid using Amtel unless advised by a healthcare professional. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function is recommended.
