Medicinal Benefits

Eslo-Tel 2.5 mg 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, Eslo-Tel 2.5 mg Tablet helps to lower high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and other conditions caused by coronary artery disease.
