Embeta-TM 50 Tablet ER

Embeta-TM 50 Tablet ER is a combination medication that contains Metoprolol Succinate (50 mg) ER and Telmisartan (40 mg). This extended-release formulation is primarily used for managing high blood pressure (hypertension) and reducing the risk of heart-related complications. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that helps decrease the heart's workload, while Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels. Together, they work to control blood pressure and improve heart function.
