TETAN BETA 25 15TAB

About

TETAN BETA 25 combines an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), Telmisartan, with a beta-blocker, Metoprolol, to provide comprehensive management of hypertension. Telmisartan works by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to its receptors in vascular smooth muscle, leading to vasodilation and a reduction in blood pressure. This action also helps to prevent cardiac remodeling and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. Metoprolol, a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker, reduces heart rate and myocardial contractility, thereby decreasing cardiac output and lowering blood pressure. It also helps to reduce the workload on the heart and can be beneficial in conditions like angina.

This combination therapy is particularly effective for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by monotherapy with either an ARB or a beta-blocker alone. The synergistic effects of these two agents lead to more robust and sustained blood pressure control, offering significant cardiovascular protection. It is indicated for the long-term treatment of essential hypertension, aiming to reduce the incidence of serious cardiovascular events such as stroke, myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular mortality.

Uses

• Management of essential hypertension.
• Reduction of cardiovascular risk in high-risk patients.
• Treatment of hypertension unresponsive to single-agent therapy.
• Improvement of cardiac function in certain heart conditions.

Directions For Use

Take orally as directed by your physician, usually once daily with or without food. Do not crush or chew the tablet.

Benefits

• Effective and sustained blood pressure reduction.
• Reduces the risk of stroke and heart attack.
• Provides dual mechanism for comprehensive control.
• Improves overall cardiovascular health.
• Offers better control for resistant hypertension.
• May alleviate symptoms of angina.

Side Effects

• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Headache
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Bradycardia (slow heart rate)
• Hypotension (low blood pressure)
• Cold extremities
• Shortness of breath
• Insomnia
• Erectile dysfunction

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Avoid or limit alcohol consumption as it can increase the blood pressure-lowering effect and enhance side effects like dizziness.
• Pregnancy - Not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, due to potential fetal harm. Consult a doctor.
• Breastfeeding - Use with caution; small amounts may pass into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breastfeeding.
• Liver - Use with caution in patients with liver impairment; dosage adjustment may be necessary.
• Kidney - Use with caution in patients with kidney impairment; regular monitoring of kidney function is advised.
• Lung - Use with caution in patients with asthma or other obstructive lung diseases due to the beta-blocker component.
