ESPIN TM TABLET is a combination of S(-)Amlodipine and Telmisartan which belongs to the group of medicines called Antihypertensive agents. It is used in adults to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) when management with single agents is not effective.

Hypertension (also known as high blood pressure) is a medical condition in which the force of the blood exerted against the walls of the artery remains very high, and as a result it may lead to severe damage to the blood vessels supplying several vital organs, such as heart, kidney, or brain. If left unmanageed, it may cause serious complications such as heart attack, heart failure, stroke or even blindness.

By lowering blood pressure, ESPIN TM TABLET can also reduce the risk of heart attack (myocardial infarction) or stroke. It can also be used to manage angina pectoris (chest pain caused due to low oxygen supply).

During management with ESPIN TM TABLET your doctor will constantly monitor your kidney functions, blood pressure and blood sugar levels to avoid the risk of unwanted side effects. Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while taking ESPIN TM TABLET as it may severely decrease your blood pressure.

Before taking ESPIN TM TABLET inform your doctor if you have any heart, liver, or kidney problems. You must also inform your doctor if you have diabetes, low blood pressure or are severely dehydrated due to excessive vomiting or diarrhea.

ESPIN TM TABLET is also not suitable for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women as it may cause serious harm to the growing baby. Stop taking ESPIN TM TABLET and inform your doctor immediately if you become pregnant while undergoing therapy with ESPIN TM TABLET.
