The reel lists amlodipine and telmisartan as separate tablets in Case II:
- Amlodipine 5 mg
- Telmisartan 40 mg
But the same two medicines are also available in many places as a
single fixed-dose combination tablet, commonly
telmisartan 40 mg + amlodipine 5 mg. The exact brands and available strengths vary by country. The
FDA prescribing information describes telmisartan/amlodipine as a fixed-dose combination.
Important: the post is not a safe prescription guide. BP treatment is not selected from one reading or only by BP range. It depends on repeat proper measurements, symptoms, kidney function, potassium, pregnancy status, other illness, and current medicines. Do not self-start amlodipine, telmisartan, furosemide, or labetalol based on this chart.
If BP is 180/120 or more with chest pain, breathlessness, weakness/numbness, confusion, visual symptoms, severe headache, or reduced urine, seek emergency care immediately.
