Product Description

Telmisartan 40 mg, Chlorthalidone 6.25 mg & Metoprolol 50 mg Extended Release Tablet belongs to a group of anti-hypertensive medicines used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). This combination tablet helps lower blood pressure, thereby reducing the risk of heart problems such as heart attack and stroke.

Uses

Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)

How it works

This combination tablet contains:

• Chlorthalidone: A thiazide-like diuretic that lowers blood pressure by increasing the elimination of sodium and water through urine, reducing blood volume and swelling.

• Telmisartan: An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that selectively blocks the AT1 receptor, preventing blood vessel constriction and promoting vasodilation, which lowers blood pressure.

• Metoprolol succinate Extended Release: A beta-1 selective beta-blocker that decreases heart rate and myocardial contractility, reducing cardiac output and oxygen demand.

Together, these actions effectively reduce blood pressure and help prevent complications related to hypertension.

Benefits

• Reduces the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke.

• Helps manage fluid retention and swelling associated with hypertension.

• Improves heart function by reducing heart rate and workload.
