Overview
This medicine is used to help manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduce the strain on the heart. By keeping blood pressure within a healthy range, it helps lower the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other heart-related complications.
How It Works
The active ingredients work together in two ways:
- Metoprolol slows the heart rate and reduces the heart’s workload, helping to lower blood pressure.
- Telmisartan relaxes blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow and reducing resistance in the arteries.
Common Uses
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke in at-risk patients
- Managing certain heart conditions, including angina and post-heart attack care
