Espin TM Tablet comprises two essential active ingredients:

S-Amlodipine (2.5 mg): This is a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing and widening your blood vessels, making it easier for your heart to pump blood. By doing so, it reduces your blood pressure and improves blood flow.
Telmisartan (40 mg): This belongs to a class of medicines known as angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). Telmisartan works by blocking the action of a hormone called angiotensin II which typically narrows blood vessels. By blocking this action, it helps your blood vessels relax and widen, thereby lowering your blood pressure and improving blood flow.
