Description
Description:
Telmisartan 40mg + Metoprolol Succinate 25mg is a combination medication used primarily for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and associated cardiovascular risks. Telmisartan belongs to the class of angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), while Metoprolol Succinate is a beta-blocker. Together, they help in lowering blood pressure, improving heart function, and reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.

Metoprolol Succinate – 25 mg
A beta-1 selective adrenergic receptor blocker that reduces heart rate and cardiac output, helping to lower blood pressure and strain on the heart.
