About Asomex-TM 5 Tablet

Asomex-TM 5 Tablet belongs to the class of medicines called ‘anti-hypertensive’ primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the blood's force against the artery wall is high. As a result, it leads to heart disease, irregular heartbeat and other complications.

Asomex-TM 5 Tablet is a combination of two medicines include: S-Amlodipine and Telmisartan, which are antihypertensive medicines. S-amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker and works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels.  It is equally efficacious at a half dose with better tolerability and fewer side effects, including peripheral oedema, than amlodipine. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist that lowers blood pressure and increases blood flow by preventing blood vessel narrowing. It is used to lower the chances of stroke, heart attack and death. Altogether, Asomex-TM 5 Tablet helps to lower high blood pressure, chest pain (angina) and other conditions caused by coronary artery disease.

Take Asomex-TM 5 Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Asomex-TM 5 Tablet as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition.

Medicinal Benefits

Asomex-TM 5 Tablet is a combination of two medicines, namely, S-amlodipine and Telmisartan, primarily taken to prevent hypertension (high blood pressure). S-amlodipine belongs to a group of drugs called calcium channel blocker that dilates (widen) blood vessels and increase blood flow. S-amlodipine is equally effective at a half dose with better tolerability, and lesser side effects, including peripheral oedema, than amlodipine. Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that lowers increased blood pressure by blocking a naturally occurring substance known as angiotensin II (that tightens your blood vessels). It allows these constricted blood vessels to relax and, therefore, helps lower high blood pressure. It is used to lower the chances of stroke, heart attack and death. Collectively, Asomex-TM 5 Tablet helps to lower high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and other conditions caused by coronary artery disease.
