Efficacy & effects

Improvement of blood pressure control in essential hypertension

  • Essential hypertension
View approved original text

Telmisartan or esamlodipine (amlodipine) is used when blood pressure is not sufficiently controlled in patients with essential hypertension with monotherapy. These medications effectively lower blood pressure and help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Each component works by dilating blood vessels to reduce blood pressure and can be used alone or in combination as needed. It is important to take the medication continuously at the appropriate dosage as per the patient's condition.
