Description
Telmaxx 25 Tablet ER is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains:
-
Telmisartan (40mg) – an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure.
-
Metoprolol Succinate (25mg) – a beta-blocker that slows down the heart rate, reduces strain on the heart, and improves blood pressure control.
Together, they work to reduce high blood pressure, protect the heart, and lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and related cardiovascular complications.
