Tetan Beta 50 Tablet ER

Tetan Beta 50 Tablet ER is an extended-release formulation used to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and certain types of heart conditions. It combines two active ingredients: telmisartan (50mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and atenolol (50mg), a beta-blocker. Telmisartan works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood, while atenolol reduces heart rate and blood pressure. Together, these components provide effective control of blood pressure and can help prevent heart-related complications.

The extended-release formulation ensures a gradual and sustained effect over time.
