This combination helps to lower blood pressure, reduce the workload on the heart, and prevent complications such as heart attack and stroke. The extended-release (ER) formulation allows for consistent blood levels, improving patient compliance with once-daily dosing.

Uses of Teleact Beta 50 Tablet ER

• Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension).
• Management of chronic heart failure to improve heart function.

How Teleact Beta 50 Tablet ER Works

Teleact Beta 50 Tablet ER combines telmisartan and atenolol. Telmisartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels, thereby relaxing the blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. Atenolol, a beta-blocker, works by reducing the heart rate and the force of heart contractions, which reduces the heart's workload and lowers blood pressure. The extended-release formulation ensures consistent medication levels throughout the day.
