Description
Ontel AM 40/5mg Tablets are a combination medication used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Each tablet contains two active ingredients: Telmisartan (40mg) and Amlodipine (5mg). Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that helps relax blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that reduces the workload on the heart by relaxing blood vessels. This combination effectively manages blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke.
