Telmisartan 40 mg +Amlodipine 5 mg |
| Description |
Telmisartan and Amlodipine tablets are indicated for the treatment of hypertension, alone or with other antihypertensive agents to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. These benefits have been seen in controlled trials of antihypertensive drugs from a wide variety of pharmacologic classes including angiotensin II receptor blockers and dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers. There are no controlled trials demonstrating risk reduction with Telmisartan and Amlodipine tablets. |

Adults
PO Initially, telmisartan 40 mg/amlodipine 5 mg once daily. Patients requiring larger reductions in BP may be started on telmisartan 80 mg/amlodipine 5 mg once daily. After at least 2 wk, dosage may be increased (max, telmisartan 80 mg/amlodipine 10 mg). Switch patients who experience dose-limiting adverse reactions (eg, edema) on amlodipine 10 mg to telmisartan 40 mg/amlodipine 5 mg once daily.
Elderly
PO Titrate slowly. Because patients 75 y and older should initiate amlodipine at 2.5 mg once daily and the lowest dose of this combination is telmisartan 40 mg/amlodipine 5 mg, initial therapy with telmisartan/amlodipine is not recommended in these patients. |
