Amlodac T 40mg/5mg Tablet is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two medicines: Telmisartan (40 mg), an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and Amlodipine (5 mg), a calcium channel blocker (CCB). These two work together to relax and widen blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood efficiently. By keeping blood pressure under control, Amlodac T reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.

How Amlodac T Tablet works
Amlodac T Tablet works by combining Telmisartan and Amlodipine, each acting on different pathways that regulate blood pressure. Telmisartan blocks the action of a hormone called angiotensin II, which tightens blood vessels and raises blood pressure. Amlodipine relaxes the smooth muscles of blood vessels, allowing them to widen and improve blood flow. This dual action decreases resistance in the arteries and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood. Regular intake helps prevent complications like heart attack or kidney failure. Taking it at a fixed time daily maintains consistent drug levels in the body. Skipping doses or stopping suddenly can raise your blood pressure again. Lifestyle changes such as reduced salt intake, weight loss, and daily exercise improve the effectiveness of this medication. Always follow your doctor’s guidance while using this medicine.
