Take these together with care

Telmitan Max Amlodipine Besilate + Telmisartan Cimetidine

Moderate

The leaflet text doesn't describe any interaction between amlodipine with telmisartan and cimetidine. Telmisartan isn't broken down by the cytochrome P450 system and, apart from some inhibition of CYP2C19, had no effect on those enzymes in laboratory tests. So it isn't expected to interact with drugs that inhibit or are metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes, except that it may slow the breakdown of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19.

What do Major, Moderate and Minor mean?

Major

The combination can cause serious harm or stop a medicine from working. Usually avoided, or only used with close medical supervision.

Moderate

The combination may need care: a different dose, taking them at different times, or extra check-ups.

Minor

Little or no effect is expected. Usually nothing needs to change.

Duplicate

Two of your medicines contain the same ingredient, which can add up to a double dose.
