Efficacy & effects

Improvement of blood pressure control in essential hypertension

  • Essential hypertension
View approved original text

The combination therapy of Telmisartan and Amlodipine (Amlodipine) is used for patients with essential hypertension whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with previous treatments. These two components work together to dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure, helping to reduce cardiovascular risk. This effectively manages the patient's blood pressure and prevents the occurrence of complications. It is therefore an appropriate drug combination for the treatment of essential hypertension.

How to take

Adult dose

Take 1 tablet once a day with water, regardless of meals. It is recommended to take it at the same time daily (e.g., in the morning). This medication may be administered 40/2.5/12.5 mg to patients whose blood pressure is not controlled using Telmisartan/Amlodipine (Amlodipine) combination therapy, adjusting the dose at intervals of more than 2 weeks based on the patient’s blood pressure response. The maximum recommended dose of this medication.

Precautions

This medication can pose serious risks to the fetus, especially in the second and third trimesters, so it must not be taken during pregnancy. Patients with impaired liver function or ongoing liver disease may experience serious side effects such as hepatic coma when taking this medication, therefore caution is necessary. Some components of this medication may worsen renal function in patients with severely impaired kidney function, so its use should be avoided. Patients with allergies to the ingredients in this medication or similar drugs should not take it. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should not take this medication, and breastfeeding women should also not take it. Patients with obstructive biliary disease, severe hepatic impairment, severe aortic stenosis, or in a state of shock are prohibited from taking this medication. Patients with diabetes or moderate to severe renal impairment, anuria, severe renal failure, refractory hypokalemia, hyponatremia, or hypercalcemia may be at risk when taking this medication. When taken in combination with certain medications, side effects may be exacerbated, so patients undergoing lithium therapy or taking specific heart-related medications should use it with caution. This medication lowers blood pressure, so dizziness or symptoms of hypotension may occur upon the first dose. During treatment, electrolyte levels and kidney function should be monitored regularly to ensure no abnormalities occur. While taking this medication, there may be drowsiness or dizziness when driving or operating machinery, so caution is needed. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to the effects of this medication, so it is safer to start at a lower dose and gradually increase it. Overdose may result in severe hypotension or heart function abnormalities, so immediate medical attention should be sought for appropriate treatment. This medication should be stored in a tightly closed container to prevent exposure to air and moisture and kept at room temperature between 1°C and 30°C. By storing it this way, the efficacy of the medication can be maintained for a longer period.
