Telma AZ 40/16mg Tablet is a combination medication used to manage hypertension (high blood pressure). It contains two active ingredients:

• Telmisartan (40mg): An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking the action of a chemical that usually makes them tighter. This lowers blood pressure, allowing blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently.

• Azelnidipine (16mg): A calcium channel blocker that regulates blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the pressure on them, thereby making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body.
