How TELMIRIDE LN TABLET Works
TELMIRIDE LN TABLET contains a combination of two medicines namely, Cilnidipine and Telmisartan respectively.
- Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by blocking calcium entry into the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels. This action relaxes and widens the blood vessels, reducing resistance to blood flow and thereby lowering blood pressure. Additionally, cilnidipine also acts on the nerves controlling blood vessels, reducing stress-related constriction, which further helps to maintain steady blood pressure levels.
- Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It inhibits the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict and increases blood pressure. By blocking this effect, telmisartan relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow, effectively lowering blood pressure.
Together, cilnidipine and telmisartan provide a dual mechanism to relax and widen blood vessels, enhancing blood circulation and reducing the risk of heart-related complications like heart attack and stroke.
