ARBITEL MT 50 TAB

About

ARBITEL MT 50 TAB is a combination medication containing Telmisartan and Metoprolol, indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that works by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to its receptors in vascular smooth muscle and other tissues. This action leads to vasodilation, reduced aldosterone secretion, and ultimately, a decrease in blood pressure. It helps to relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more smoothly and reducing the workload on the heart.

Metoprolol is a beta-1 selective adrenergic blocker that primarily acts on the heart to slow heart rate and reduce the force of heart muscle contraction. This dual action of Telmisartan and Metoprolol provides comprehensive blood pressure control, particularly beneficial for patients who may also have conditions like angina or post-myocardial infarction. The combination effectively lowers blood pressure, reduces cardiovascular strain, and helps to prevent serious cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.
