Telvas Beta 50 Tablet ER

Introduction

Telvas Beta 50 Tablet ER is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two active ingredients: Telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and Metoprolol, a beta-blocker. Together, they help lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart-related issues, and protect the heart by improving blood flow.

Uses

• Management of high blood pressure (hypertension)
• Reduces the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke
• Improves heart function in patients with heart failure

How it Works

Telvas Beta 50 Tablet ER combines Telmisartan and Metoprolol. Telmisartan works by blocking the action of a hormone that narrows blood vessels, helping to relax and widen them. Metoprolol works by reducing the heart rate and the force of heart contractions, thus lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart's workload.
