Clinical Overview

Telmisartan and Amlodipine is a synergistic dual antihypertensive formulation. Telmisartan blocks vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II at AT1 receptors and improves insulin sensitivity via partial PPAR-gamma agonism, while amlodipine selectively inhibits transmembrane calcium influx in vascular smooth muscle, producing peripheral arteriolar vasodilation. Telmisartan post-capillary venodilation mitigates amlodipine-induced pre-capillary peripheral ankle edema. Indicated for essential hypertension in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled on monotherapy.
