Telsartan R 40/2.5mg Tablet works by combining the effects of two active ingredients:

• Ramipril (2.5 mg): This is an ACE inhibitor that blocks the transformation of angiotensin I into angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a powerful vasoconstrictor that narrows your blood vessels, leading to increased blood pressure. By inhibiting ACE, ramipril decreases angiotensin II levels, allowing blood vessels to relax and widen, which reduces blood pressure.

• Telmisartan (40 mg): This is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that selectively stops angiotensin II from binding to its receptor. This action prevents the narrowing of blood vessels and secretion of aldosterone by angiotensin II, resulting in wider blood vessels and lower blood pressure.
