Ozotel-AM Tablet combines the power of two active ingredients:

S-Amlodipine (5 mg): This ingredient is a calcium antagonist that works by blocking calcium ion influx in your blood vessels and heart muscles. What does it mean? It helps relax and widen your blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing resistance in your peripheral vascular system.
Telmisartan (40 mg): This ingredient serves as an angiotensin II receptor blocker. It works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II a substance that causes constriction of blood vessels and secretion of aldosterone (a hormone that controls salt and water balance). By blocking these actions, Telmisartan helps reduce blood volume and constriction of blood vessels.
