About the Product
Telma-NB Tablet is a combination medication used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It contains two active ingredients: Nebivolol and Telmisartan, which work together to help control blood pressure, particularly when a single medication is insufficient. By effectively lowering blood pressure, Telma-NB Tablet also reduces the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage.
It is essential to take Telma-NB Tablet consistently at the same time each day to maintain steady levels of the medication in your body. Even if you feel well, it is important to continue taking the medication as prescribed. Stopping the medication abruptly can cause your condition to worsen, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Along with taking this medicine, adopting a healthy lifestyle—such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and weight management—can further help control your blood pressure.

Key Benefits
- Lowers Blood Pressure: Helps reduce high blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and slowing down the heart rate, improving circulation and reducing strain on the heart.
- Prevents Cardiovascular Events: By lowering blood pressure, Telma-NB Tablet reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, and kidney problems.
- Improves Heart and Vascular Health: The combination of Nebivolol and Telmisartan helps to relax the blood vessels and manage the workload on the heart.
How It Works
Telma-NB Tablet is a combination of two blood pressure-lowering medications:
- Nebivolol: A beta-blocker that slows the heart rate and reduces the force of the heart’s contractions, lowering blood pressure.
- Telmisartan: An angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the effects of a chemical that constricts blood vessels, helping them relax and lower blood pressure.
Together, these medications work synergistically to effectively lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, and improve overall heart and vascular health.
