Product Introduction:
- Amodep TM Tablet combines two active ingredients: Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker (CCB). This combination works synergistically to lower blood pressure through different mechanisms.
Amodep TM Tablet may be taken on an empty stomach or along with food. However, it is better to take it regularly at a fixed time each day, as prescribed by your doctor. The dose will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. It’s important to keep taking this medicine even if you feel well. By lowering your blood pressure, it is reducing your risk of heart attack or stroke so do not stop taking it unless your doctor tells you to. You can help this medication work better by making a few changes to your lifestyle such as keeping active, stopping smoking, and eating a low salt and low-fat diet.
The most common side effects of this medicine include swelling in your ankles or feet (edema), headache, sleepiness, dizziness, tiredness, and upset stomach. Since it may cause sleepiness and dizziness, do not drive or do anything requiring concentration until you know how it affects you. Talk to your doctor if any of the side effects bother you or will not go away.
Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have any kidney or liver problems or severe dehydration. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking it. While using this medicine, your blood pressure will need to be checked often and your kidney function may also need to be tested.

Benefits:
- Hypertension Management: Telmisartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to narrow, while Amlodipine relaxes and widens blood vessels. Together, they help to reduce blood pressure effectively.
- Cardiovascular Protection: By lowering blood pressure, this combination medication reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events associated with hypertension.
-
Side Effects:
- Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, swelling in the ankles or feet (amlodipine), and upper respiratory tract infection (telmisartan).
- Less common but potentially serious side effects may include hypotension (low blood pressure), hyperkalemia (high potassium levels), and allergic reactions.
