About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Weltelmi-AM 40 Tablet is a combination antihypertensive medication containing Telmisartan 40 mg and Amlodipine 5 mg. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that selectively inhibits the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor, thereby preventing vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion, which results in vasodilation and reduced blood pressure. Amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, inhibits the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, leading to vasodilation and decreased peripheral vascular resistance. The synergistic action of these two agents effectively manages hypertension by targeting different pathways involved in blood pressure regulation. Weltelmi-AM 40 is indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension and may be used when monotherapy with either agent is insufficient to achieve desired blood pressure control. This combination helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as stroke, myocardial infarction, and heart failure associated with uncontrolled hypertension. The medication is generally well tolerated; however, potential side effects include dizziness, peripheral edema, headache, and hypotension. It is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment, pregnancy, and hypersensitivity to either component. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, renal function, and electrolytes is recommended during therapy.

How It Works
Telmisartan selectively blocks angiotensin II receptors, leading to vasodilation and decreased blood pressure.
All Active Ingredients
Amlodipine
Amlodipine inhibits calcium ion influx into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, leading to vasodilation and reduced myocardial oxygen demand.
