What is Twynsta?

Twynsta is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. It is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) and a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) alone, or with other antihypertensive agents.

Twynsta tablets are used as initial treatment in patients needing multiple antihypertensive agents to achieve their target blood pressure. Lower blood pressure helps to prevent cardiovascular problems such as strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.

Always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
