Telma Beta Tablet contains a combination of two medicines namely Metoprolol and Telmisartan. It is an anti-hypertensive medicine used to treat high blood pressure when it cannot be managed using single medicine. Telmisartan and Metoprolol belong to a class of medicines known as "Angiotensin receptor blocker (ARBs)" and "Beta-blocker" respectively. This medicine acts by relaxing the blood vessels and lowering the raised blood pressure. Do not stop taking Telma Beta Tablet abruptly, as it may cause sudden hypertensive crises and worsen the health further. Always take it as prescribed and advised by your doctor. Visit a nearby clinic or hospital in case of any side effect that worsens or remain persistent.
