ARBITEL MT 25

About

ARBITEL MT 25 is a fixed-dose combination medication comprising Telmisartan and Metoprolol, designed for the comprehensive management of hypertension. Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, leading to relaxation of blood vessels and a subsequent reduction in blood pressure. Metoprolol, a beta-blocker, complements this action by slowing the heart rate and further relaxing blood vessels, which collectively reduces the heart's workload and lowers systemic blood pressure. This synergistic combination is particularly effective in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by a single antihypertensive agent, providing robust blood pressure control and reducing overall cardiovascular risk.

Uses

• Treatment of essential hypertension
• Management of high blood pressure
• Reduction of cardiovascular risk
• When monotherapy is inadequate

• Liver - Use with caution in severe liver impairment; dosage adjustment may be necessary for telmisartan.
• Kidney - Use with caution in severe renal impairment; monitor kidney function closely.
• Lung - Metoprolol should be used with caution in patients with asthma or severe COPD due to bronchoconstriction risk.
