Essential hypertension
View approved original textHide 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.
