TAZLOC BETA 50MG TABLET

Uses and Benefits of TAZLOC BETA 50MG TABLET (TELMISARTAN 40MG + METOPROLOL 50MG)

This medicine is used mainly to treat high blood pressure, especially in people who need two different mechanisms to control it.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Control of high blood pressure (hypertension)
• Sometimes used to reduce strain on the heart in patients with certain heart conditions, as decided by the doctor

HOW IT WORKS

• Telmisartan blocks angiotensin II, a chemical that tightens blood vessels, helping vessels relax and lowering blood pressure
• Metoprolol blocks beta receptors in the heart, slowing heart rate and reducing the force of contraction, which lowers blood pressure and reduces heart workload
• Together they give better blood pressure control than either medicine alone in many patients

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Not a painkiller and does not treat headache or body pain
• Not used for immediate relief of a hypertensive emergency without medical supervision
• Not a substitute for lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and weight control
• Not to be used for asthma or breathing problems

Always take this medicine only as advised by your doctor, and do not use it for any condition it was not prescribed for.
