Product introduction
Telvas 3D Tablet is a three-in-one blood pressure medicine that combines telmisartan, amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide. It is used to control high blood pressure when one medicine alone does not keep it in range. It can be taken with or without food at the same time each day; because it contains a water pill, it is best not taken within about four hours of bedtime to avoid disturbed sleep from extra urination. It should be taken regularly even when you feel well, since high blood pressure often causes no symptoms.
Storage: Store below 25°C.
Uses of Telvas 3D Tablet

How Telvas 3D Tablet works
This tablet works in three complementary ways. Telmisartan (an angiotensin receptor blocker) and amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker) both relax and widen the blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps the body get rid of excess water and salt through urine. Together they lower blood pressure more effectively than one medicine alone.
