Telgard-AM Tablet is a fixed-dose combination antihypertensive medicine manufactured by Cipla Ltd. It contains two active ingredients: Telmisartan (40mg) and Amlodipine (5mg). This combination is highly effective in controlling high blood pressure (hypertension) in patients where a single medicine is not sufficient.
How It Works
-
Telmisartan (40mg): An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II, thereby lowering blood pressure.
-
Amlodipine (5mg): A calcium channel blocker (CCB) that prevents calcium from entering the heart and blood vessel walls, resulting in smoother blood flow and reduced workload on the heart.
-
Together, they work synergistically to provide better blood pressure control than either medicine alone.
Medical Uses
-
Treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure)
-
Helps reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and heart failure

Once-daily dosing ensures convenience and compliance
Possible Side Effects
-
Dizziness, headache, fatigue
-
Swelling in ankles or feet (edema) due to Amlodipine

Dosage & Administration
-
To be taken only under medical supervision.
-
Swallow whole with water; do not crush or chew.
-
Usually taken once daily, preferably at the same time each day.
