Prescription Required.Why?
An angiotensin ii receptor blocker (arb) that lowers blood pressure by blocking the action of angiotensin ii, a hormone that narrows blood vessels.
An angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) inhibitor that lowers blood pressure by reducing the production of angiotensin ii and other substances that narrow blood vessels.
Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)
Reduction of cardiovascular risk in patients with high blood pressure and other risk factors such as diabetes or history of cardiovascular disease
Tetan R 5mg Tab (Telmisartan + Ramipril) work synergistically to lower blood pressure. Ramipril inhibits the ACE enzyme, preventing the formation of angiotensin II. Telmisartan then blocks the action of any remaining angiotensin II, resulting in vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) and reduced blood pressure. This combined action offers superior blood pressure control compared to either drug alone in many patients.
