Indications:
PRESART AM 5/80 mg is indicated for:

Treatment of essential hypertension
Reduction of cardiovascular morbidity in patients with atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease (e.g., coronary artery disease, stroke)
Patients with type 2 diabetes and documented target organ damage

Pharmacology:

Telmisartan: A non-peptide angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that selectively blocks the AT1 receptor, leading to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure without affecting heart rate.
Amlodipine: A dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker that inhibits the transmembrane influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, causing peripheral arterial vasodilation and reduction in blood pressure.

Dosage:

Initial Therapy: 40/5 mg once daily; may increase to 80/5 mg once daily if greater blood pressure reduction is needed.
Add-on Therapy: For patients not adequately controlled with amlodipine (or another dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker) alone or with telmisartan (or another angiotensin receptor blocker) alone.
Replacement Therapy: For patients receiving amlodipine and telmisartan from separate tablets, PRESART AM 5/80 mg can replace the individual components.

Administration:
Take one tablet orally once daily, with or without food, at the same time each day.

Interaction:

Telmisartan: May interact with drugs like antacids, rifampicin, and certain statins, which can affect its absorption and increase side effects.
Amlodipine: May interact with beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and other antihypertensive agents. Monitor blood pressure regularly.
