Twynsta is prescribed for the treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults who require combination therapy to achieve adequate blood pressure control. It is typically used when single-agent therapy is insufficient.
Twynsta combines two complementary mechanisms: telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that prevents blood vessel constriction by blocking a hormone that narrows blood vessels, while amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels by preventing calcium from entering muscle cells in vessel walls.
Twynsta should not be used during pregnancy as it can cause harm to unborn babies. Common side effects may include swelling (edema), dizziness, and flushing. Patients should avoid potassium supplements and salt substitutes containing potassium unless directed by their healthcare provider. Alcohol may increase certain side effects.
