Uses of Eslo-Tel 2.5mg Tablet

Eslo-Tel 2.5mg Tablet is primarily used for the following purposes:

• Hypertension: It is prescribed to patients with high blood pressure to help lower and manage their blood pressure levels. By combining Esmolol and Telmisartan, the medication effectively reduces blood pressure and helps prevent complications associated with hypertension, such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.
• Heart Failure: The tablet may be used in the management of heart failure. By controlling blood pressure and reducing the strain on the heart, Eslo-Tel can help improve symptoms associated with heart failure, such as shortness of breath and fluid retention.
• Post-Myocardial Infarction: It can be used as part of the treatment regimen following a heart attack to reduce the risk of further cardiac events and improve overall cardiac function.

Benefits of Eslo-Tel 2.5mg Tablet

Eslo-Tel 2.5mg Tablet offers several benefits, making it an effective treatment option for hypertension and heart failure:

• Dual Action: The combination of Esmolol and Telmisartan provides a dual mechanism of action. Esmolol reduces heart rate and cardiac output, while Telmisartan blocks the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels. This dual action results in more effective blood pressure control.
• Improved Blood Pressure Control: By lowering blood pressure, Eslo-Tel reduces the risk of developing complications associated with chronic hypertension, such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems.
• Enhanced Heart Function: In patients with heart failure, Eslo-Tel helps to reduce the workload on the heart, improve cardiac output, and alleviate symptoms such as edema and dyspnea (shortness of breath).
• Convenience: Combining two medications into a single tablet simplifies the treatment regimen for patients, increasing adherence to the prescribed therapy.
• Long-Lasting Effects: Both Esmolol and Telmisartan have a long duration of action, providing extended blood pressure control throughout the day.

Side Effects of Eslo-Tel 2.5mg Tablet

Like all medications, Eslo-Tel 2.5mg Tablet may cause side effects. While many patients tolerate the medication well, some common and serious side effects include:

• Common Side Effects: These may include dizziness, headache, fatigue, and nausea. These effects are generally mild and often resolve on their own as the body adjusts to the medication.
• Serious Side Effects: Some patients may experience more severe reactions, such as severe hypotension (low blood pressure), bradycardia (slow heart rate), or symptoms of an allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling). These side effects require prompt medical attention.
• Kidney Issues: Telmisartan can affect kidney function, leading to increased levels of potassium in the blood (hyperkalemia) or changes in kidney function tests. Regular monitoring of kidney function is essential during treatment.
• Heart Rate Changes: Esmolol can cause significant changes in heart rate, potentially leading to symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, or fainting. Patients should report any irregularities in heart rate to their healthcare provider.
