TELMISARTAN+RAMIPRIL belongs to a group of medications called ‘antihypertensives’ used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). High blood pressure is a chronic (long-term) condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently in higher than normal levels. If left untreated, this condition can increase the risk of heart-related diseases like heart attack, heart failure, stroke, irregular heartbeat, and other complications.
TELMISARTAN+RAMIPRIL contains Telmisartan and Ramipril. Telmisartan is an angiotensin-II receptor blocker (ARB). Angiotensin narrows the blood vessels increasing the blood pressure, therefore blocking angiotensin can result in the widening of the narrowed blood vessels. Ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and works by lowering the body’s production of substances (angiotensin) that could increase blood pressure. Together, TELMISARTAN+RAMIPRIL allows the blood to flow more smoothly in the blood vessels.
