Improvement in blood pressure control for essential hypertension
This medication is used for patients with essential hypertension whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with telmisartan or amlodipine monotherapy. It helps to effectively lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.
The recommended dosage for this medication is 1 tablet once daily, to be taken with water regardless of meals. It is advisable to take it at the same time every day (for example, in the morning). For patients with severe renal impairment, treatment should start at a lower dose, gradually increasing the dosage. Patients with liver dysfunction should not exceed a daily dose of 40 mg. Elderly patients (75 years and older) should start treatment at a lower dose.
Administration in pediatric patients under 18 years of age is not recommended.

Patients with liver or heart disease, impaired kidney function, certain heart valve diseases, and the elderly should exercise special caution when taking this medication.
