TELMISARTAN-METOPROLOL SUCCINATE ER TAB

TELMISARTAN-METOPROLOL SUCCINATE ER TAB: Telmisartan-Metoprolol Succinate ER Tab is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: telmisartan and metoprolol succinate. It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure.

Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. It does this by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to narrow. By blocking the effects of angiotensin II, telmisartan helps to widen the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily.

Metoprolol succinate is a beta-blocker that works by blocking the effects of certain chemicals in the body, such as adrenaline. This helps to slow down the heart rate and reduce the force of contractions, thereby reducing blood pressure.

This combination medication is available in tablet form and is usually prescribed to be taken orally once a day. The dosage may vary and is determined by the individual patient, taking into account their condition, response to treatment, and any other medications they may be taking.

As with any medication, Telmisartan-Metoprolol Succinate ER Tab may cause side effects. Common side effects include dizziness, headache, tiredness, stomach upset, and low blood pressure. Serious side effects are rare but may include chest pain, difficulty breathing, irregular heartbeat, and swelling of the hands or feet. It is important to consult a healthcare professional if any concerning or persistent side effects occur.

It is important to note that this drug may interact with other medications, so it is essential to inform your doctor about any other medications or supplements you are taking before starting Telmisartan-Metoprolol Succinate ER Tab. Additionally, this medication should not be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding without consulting a healthcare professional.
