Amlodipine (5 Mg) + Telmisartan (40 Mg)

Zensartan Am Tablet 10 is used to manage high blood pressure, a condition known as hypertension. It's a combination medicine that falls under the category of antihypertensives.

This medicine is beneficial for those whose blood pressure isn't adequately controlled by either of the active ingredients used alone. Therefore, it offers an effective solution for managing high blood pressure and ensuring better cardiovascular health.

As with all medicines, you should take this under the guidance of your doctor. Your doctor will determine the correct dosage and frequency for you. Always inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before you start this medicine. If you encounter any adverse side effects, promptly inform your doctor. For the best results, take the medicine for the entire duration prescribed by your doctor.

Peripheral oedema, a swelling in your hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs
Headache
Dizziness
Fatigue
Nausea
Diarrhoea

Managing the Side Effects:

Most of the side effects are temporary and generally mild and can be resolved by stopping the use of Zensartan Am Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or your symptoms worsen, inform your doctor.

Here's how to manage certain common side effects:

Nausea: Try taking the medicine with food to help prevent this.
Diarrhoea: You can consider taking the tablet after meals to lessen this effect.

Zensartan Am Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

Telmisartan (40 mg): Telmisartan works as an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It selectively blocks the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors in vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland. This action inhibits the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II, thereby reducing blood pressure.
Amlodipine (5 mg): This component acts as a calcium channel blocker in your body. It hinders the influx of calcium ions into your vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiac muscle cells, leading to vasodilation or widening of blood vessels. As a result, there's decreased peripheral vascular resistance and a reduction in blood pressure.

Together, these two ingredients work synergistically to effectively lower high blood pressure.

Pregnancy

Zensartan Am Tablet 10 is not recommended during pregnancy due to the potential risks to the foetus. It's crucial to discuss this with a doctor if you are pregnant or planning to conceive.
