Introduction: Telpro Max 80/5 is a fixed‑dose combination of Telmisartan (an angiotensin receptor blocker) and Amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker). It is prescribed to effectively lower blood pressure and reduce cardiovascular risks.

Uses:

Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Side Effects:

Sleepiness
Ankle swelling
Headache
Flushing (warmth in face, ears, neck, trunk)
Dizziness
Tiredness
Palpitations
Upset stomach
Increased potassium level in blood

How to Use: Take Telpro Max 80/5 in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Swallow whole; do not chew, crush, or break. Can be taken with or without food, preferably at a fixed time.

Mechanism of Action: Telpro Max 80/5 combines Telmisartan and Amlodipine. Telmisartan relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II, while Amlodipine reduces vascular resistance by blocking calcium channels. Together, they lower blood pressure and improve heart efficiency.

Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, skip it and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Quick Tips:

May cause dizziness or sleepiness — avoid driving until you know its effects.
Rise slowly to avoid lightheadedness.
Avoid alcohol as it may enhance blood pressure‑lowering effects.
