Telsarta A Tablet 10/80mg contains a combination of Amlodipine 10mg and Telmisartan 80mg. It is a prescription antihypertensive medicine used to help control high blood pressure (hypertension). This combination works through two different mechanisms to relax blood vessels and improve blood flow.

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that helps widen blood vessels, while Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps prevent blood vessel tightening. Together, they help reduce blood pressure and decrease strain on the heart.
