Product Description

Tsart-AM Tablet, manufactured by Alkem Pharma, is a prescription medicine that combines Telmisartan (40mg) and Amlodipine (5mg). It is commonly prescribed to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and lower the risk of heart-related complications.

Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels, while Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB) that helps improve blood flow by widening arteries. Together, they provide effective and long-lasting control of blood pressure.
