About Amlotel Tablet

Amlotel Tablet belongs to the class of anti-hypertensive drugs, primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Hypertension is a medical condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently in the arteries. It is considered an essential risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Amlotel Tablet lowers blood pressure by widening and relaxing blood vessels.

Amlotel Tablet is a fixed-dose combination composed of two medicines, namely, Telmisartan and Amlodipine. Telmisartan belongs to a group of drugs called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. It lowers blood pressure and increases blood flow by preventing the narrowing of blood vessels. It is used to lower the chances of stroke, heart attack, and death. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that dilates (widens) blood vessels and increases blood flow. Altogether, it helps to lower high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and other conditions caused by coronary artery disease.

Amlotel Tablet is available in the form of oral tablets. Swallow it as a whole with a glass of water. You can take Amlotel Tablet with or without food once a time in a day, as prescribed by the doctor. Do not crush, chew, or break it.
