What is it prescribed for?
High blood pressure with high cholesterol
Hypertension or high blood pressure is a condition in which your blood pressure is higher than normal. It happens when the force of blood against your blood vessels is too high. Whereas, high cholesterol levels can restrict your blood flow. Both high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels may increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke (damage to the brain due to interrupted blood flow).
Telista-Plus (40/10 mg) Tablet widens and relaxes your blood vessel thus promotes an easy blood flow. It also reduces bad cholesterol and increases good cholesterol levels in your body.
