Description
Product Overview:
Telma-Beta 50 Tablet ER is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). By lowering blood pressure, it helps prevent serious cardiovascular events like heart attacks, strokes, and can also improve the chances of survival for patients with heart conditions. This medication is especially useful in reducing the strain on the heart and blood vessels, helping to maintain better cardiovascular health.
Salt Composition:
- Telmisartan (40mg)
- Metoprolol Succinate (50mg)
How It Works:
- Telmisartan: It is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that works by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. This reduces blood pressure and decreases the strain on the heart.
- Metoprolol Succinate: A beta-blocker, it works by slowing down the heart rate and reducing the force of the heart’s contractions. This helps to lower blood pressure, reduce heart workload, and improve heart function.
By combining these two drugs, Telma-Beta 50 ER effectively manages high blood pressure, reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems, and ensures the heart does not have to work as hard.
How to Use:
- Dosage: Follow your doctorās instructions regarding the dosage. The recommended dose may vary depending on your specific condition and response to the medicine.
- With Food: Telma-Beta should be taken with food for better absorption.
- Swallow Whole: Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet. Swallow it as a whole.
- Fixed Timing: Take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels of the medicine.
- Do Not Stop Abruptly: Even if you feel fine, do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor, as high blood pressure has no symptoms and stopping treatment could worsen your condition.
Benefits:
- Lowering Blood Pressure: Helps relax blood vessels, reduce heart rate, and improve blood flow, all of which contribute to lowering high blood pressure.
- Prevention of Cardiovascular Events: By controlling blood pressure, the medication reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.
