StayHappi Telmisartan+Atorvastatin 40mg/10mg Tablet is a combination drug, namely Telmisartan (blood pressure-lowering agent) and Atorvastatin (cholesterol-lowering agent), primarily taken to prevent heart attack and stroke in people with heart problems. It also lowers the raised level of bad cholesterol (especially those at high risk of heart disease). Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that lowers increased blood pressure by blocking a naturally occurring substance known as angiotensin II (that tightens your blood vessels). It allows these constricted blood vessels to relax and, therefore, helps lower high blood pressure. Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that blocks the enzyme required to make cholesterol in the body. It reduces the bad cholesterol (also known as low-density lipoproteins or LDL), triglycerides (TG) and increases the levels of good cholesterol (also known as high-density lipoproteins or HDL). Together, StayHappi Telmisartan+Atorvastatin 40mg/10mg Tablet reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke.
