Overview

Amlosafe 3D Tablet is a prescription medication manufactured by Aristo Pharmaceuticals Pvt Ltd. It contains two active ingredients: telmisartan (40mg) and amlodipine (5mg). This medication is designed to help manage high blood pressure and provide overall cardiovascular health.

Telmisartan and amlodipine work together to help lower blood pressure in two ways:
