TELMA BETA 25MG

About

TELMA BETA 25MG combines Telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), with Metoprolol, a selective beta-1 adrenergic blocker. This medication is primarily indicated for the treatment of hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions where both an ARB and a beta-blocker are beneficial. Telmisartan works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, leading to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure. Metoprolol reduces heart rate, myocardial contractility, and cardiac output by selectively blocking beta-1 receptors in the heart.

The combination provides a comprehensive approach to managing blood pressure and improving cardiac function, particularly in patients who may also benefit from heart rate control or have conditions like angina or post-myocardial infarction. This dual action helps to reduce the workload on the heart and improve overall cardiovascular outcomes.

Uses

• Management of essential hypertension

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Alcohol may enhance the hypotensive effects and increase the risk of dizziness or drowsiness. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption.

• Breastfeeding - Not recommended during breastfeeding as both components may pass into breast milk and could affect the infant.
• Liver - Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment. Dosage adjustment may be necessary, and close monitoring is advised.
• Kidney - Use with caution in patients with renal impairment. Regular monitoring of kidney function and serum potassium levels is recommended.
• Lung - Contraindicated in severe asthma, severe COPD, or other severe obstructive airway diseases due to the beta-blocker component.
