Twynsta (Telmisartan/Amlodipine)
Twynsta is a prescription medication that combines two active ingredients: Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker (CCB). It is commonly used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) in patients, helping reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular issues by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow.

- Combines two proven medications to effectively lower blood pressure.
- Helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.
- Provides a convenient once-daily dose for hypertension management.
