Product Description

Metoprolol Succinate 50 mg (Extended Release) + Telmisartan 40 mg Tablets IP is a combination medicine used to help manage high blood pressure. It contains a beta-blocker and an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that work together to lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart.
