strokeheait attacks and heart failure)kidney failure and vision problemsso prompt treatment is clinically relevant. Consider the patient’s baseline blood pressure

Theropeutic Class

Combined antihypertensive preparations

Pharmacology

Amlodipine relaxes peripheral and coronary vascular smooth muscle.

Absorption

Telmisartan is a nonpeptide ATI angiotensin II receptor antagonist.

Distribution

It exerts antihypertensive activity by preventing angiotensin II from binding to ATI receptors thus inhibiting the vasoconstricting and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II.

Metabolism

It also increases myocardial oxygen delivery in patients with vasospastic angina.

Excretion

It produces coronary vasodilation by inhibiting the entry of Ca ions into the slow channels or select voltage sensitive channels of the vascular smooth muscle and myocardium during depolarisation.

Because of the potential adverse reactions in nursing infants, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue therapy, taking into account the importance of this therapy for the mother

Precautions & Warnings

Hepatic & renal impairment, renovascular HTN, intravascular hypovolaemia, severe CHE renal artery stenosis, primary aldosteronism, aortic or mitral valve stenosis, obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, NYHA III & IV heart failure of non-ischaemic aetiology, hyperkalaemia. Fructose intolerance. May impair ability to drive or operate machinery. Children & adolescent 18 years.Impairment of Fertility: No data from controlled clinical studies with the fixed dose combination or with the individual components are available.Separate reproductive toxicity studies with the combination of telmisartan and amlodipine have not been conducted.
