Am Telsan 5/80mg Tab
Description
What is Am Telsan 5/80mg Tab?
Am Telsan 5/80mg Tab is a combination antihypertensive tablet containing Amlodipine 5mg (calcium channel blocker) and Telmisartan 80mg (angiotensin II receptor blocker / ARB), prescribed for moderate-to-severe hypertension and long-term cardiovascular protection. For the higher Amlodipine dose, see Am Telsan 10/80mg Tab.
How Does Am Telsan 5/80mg Work?
Amlodipine reduces arterial resistance through selective calcium channel blockade. Telmisartan 80mg (full therapeutic dose) provides complete AT1 receptor blockade, with additional cardio-metabolic benefits via PPARgamma partial agonism. The combination acts synergistically to lower blood pressure more than either agent alone, while offering superior end-organ protection.
Uses of Am Telsan 5/80mg
Used in adults with moderate-to-severe essential hypertension, particularly in patients with comorbid conditions such as type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or mild chronic kidney disease where Telmisartan's cardioprotective benefits are desirable. Also see Am Telsan 5/40mg Tab for the lower Telmisartan dose option.
