Uses & Benefits
Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), especially when single-drug therapy is insufficient; helps reduce risk of cardiovascular events associated with uncontrolled BP.
How It Works
Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II, lowering blood pressure. Metoprolol succinate is a cardioselective beta-blocker (ER) that reduces heart rate and cardiac output and suppresses renin release, further lowering blood pressure and reducing cardiac workload.
Directions for Use
Take by mouth as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day. Swallow the tablet whole (do not crush/chew as it is extended-release). Can be taken with or without food; continue regularly even if you feel well.
Prescription medicine. May cause dizziness—avoid driving until you know its effects. Monitor blood pressure and pulse regularly. Do not stop metoprolol suddenly (risk of angina/heart attack/arrhythmia); taper only under medical supervision. Use with caution in asthma/COPD (may worsen bronchospasm), diabetes (can mask hypoglycemia symptoms), thyroid disorders, peripheral vascular disease, kidney or liver impairment, and in elderly. ARBs like telmisartan can cause increased potassium—avoid potassium supplements/salt substitutes unless advised; monitor serum potassium and kidney function. Contraindicated in pregnancy; avoid in bilateral renal artery stenosis. Seek care for severe dizziness/fainting, very slow pulse, breathing difficulty, swelling of face/lips, or reduced urine output.
