Amlodipine(5MG)
Uses
Amlodipine is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and severe pain in chest.
How it works
Amlodipine belongs to a class of drugs called calcium channel blocker. It reduces the amount of calcium that enters the smooth muscles of the blood vessels and heart. As muscle cells require calcium to contract, reducing the flow of calcium causes the muscle cells to relax and blood vessels to dilate, reducing blood pressure, force and rate of the heartbeat. It improves blood and oxygen supply to the heart muscles.
Dosage
Always follow the instructions of doctor regarding the dosage and duration.Treatment of hypertension or angina:
Adults: 5 mg or 10 mg once daily.
Children aged 6-17 years: 2.5 mg once daily or increased to 5 mg once daily if deemed necessary by the doctor.

Uses
Telmisartan belongs to a class of medicines known as angiotensin II receptor blockers. It is used to treat high blood pressure, prevention and treatment of heart attack (myocardial Infarction) and heart failure; when heart is unable to pump sufficient blood. It is also used for kidney failure in patients with diabetes.
How it works
Telmisartan blocks the action of a substance (angiotensin II) responsible for narrowing of the blood vessels. It relaxes the blood vessels; thereby lowering blood pressure.
Dosage
Always follow the instructions of doctor regarding the dosage and duration.
Treatment of hypertension: 40 mg once daily or 80 mg once daily.
Reduction of cardiovascular risks: 80 mg once daily.
In patients with liver impairment, the dosage should not exceed 40 mg once daily.
Common side effects
Low blood pressure (hypotension), dizziness, sore throat, inability to sleep, depression, fainting, vertigo, slow heart rate (bradycardia), shortness of breath, cough, abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, vomiting, itching, increased sweating, back pain, muscle cramps and pain (myalgia), blood infection (sepsis), rapid swelling of race and lips, hypersensitivity reactions.
