Telma-Beta 25 Tablet ER

Product Introduction

Telma-Beta 25 Tablet ER is a combination medication used primarily to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and associated cardiovascular conditions. This medication combines two active ingredients: Telmisartan and Metoprolol. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, while Metoprolol is a beta-blocker. These components work synergistically to effectively control blood pressure levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.

Telmisartan operates by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict. By inhibiting this action, Telmisartan helps to relax and widen blood vessels, facilitating smoother blood flow and lowering blood pressure. Metoprolol, on the other hand, functions by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart, which results in a decrease in heart rate and the force of contraction. This dual action makes Telma-Beta 25 Tablet ER particularly effective in managing high blood pressure and preventing complications associated with cardiovascular diseases.

Uses of Telma-Beta 25 Tablet ER

Telma-Beta 25 Tablet ER is prescribed for the following conditions:

1. Hypertension: It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure, a condition that, if left untreated, can lead to serious health issues like heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.
2. Angina Pectoris: This medication can be used to manage angina, a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.
3. Heart Failure: In some cases, it may be prescribed as part of the treatment regimen for heart failure to improve the heart’s function and reduce symptoms.
4. Preventing Cardiovascular Events: It helps in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with a history of hypertension or other related conditions.

Benefits of Telma-Beta 25 Tablet ER

1. Effective Blood Pressure Control: By combining Telmisartan and Metoprolol, Telma-Beta 25 Tablet ER offers a comprehensive approach to managing hypertension, often more effective than monotherapy.
2. Cardiovascular Protection: It significantly reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events by maintaining optimal blood pressure levels.
3. Reduced Heart Workload: Metoprolol helps reduce the heart rate and the force of the heart’s contractions, decreasing the overall workload on the heart and improving heart function, especially beneficial for patients with heart failure.
4. Improved Blood Flow: Telmisartan’s action on the blood vessels ensures better blood flow and reduced strain on the cardiovascular system, contributing to overall heart health.
5. Symptom Relief: For patients with angina, Telma-Beta 25 Tablet ER helps alleviate symptoms by improving blood supply to the heart, reducing chest pain and discomfort.

Side Effects of Telma-Beta 25 Tablet ER

Like all medications, Telma-Beta 25 Tablet ER can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Some common side effects include:

1. Dizziness or Lightheadedness: These symptoms can occur, especially when getting up from a lying or sitting position, due to the blood pressure-lowering effects of the medication.
2. Fatigue: Patients may feel unusually tired or weak, a common side effect of beta-blockers like Metoprolol.
3. Bradycardia: A slower than normal heart rate can occur, particularly with Metoprolol.
4. Gastrointestinal Issues: Some individuals may experience nausea, diarrhea, or constipation.
5. Cold Extremities: The use of Metoprolol can lead to reduced blood flow to the hands and feet, making them feel cold.

In rare cases, more severe side effects may occur:

1. Hypotension: An excessive drop in blood pressure can lead to symptoms such as severe dizziness, fainting, and shock.
2. Breathing Difficulties: Metoprolol can cause bronchospasm, particularly in patients with a history of asthma or other respiratory conditions.
3. Heart Block: This is a condition where the electrical signals that control the heartbeat are partially or completely blocked.
4. Liver Dysfunction: Although rare, Telmisartan can cause liver problems, indicated by symptoms like yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice).
5. Allergic Reactions: Some patients may experience allergic reactions, including rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, and trouble breathing.
