Telmisartan 40mg + Metoprolol 25mg + Chlorthalidone 6.25mg

Telmisartan 40mg + Metoprolol 25mg + Chlorthalidone 6.25mg — Uses and Benefits

This combination medicine is mainly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) that is not adequately controlled by a single medicine.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Control of high blood pressure
• Reducing risk of heart-related complications from long-term high blood pressure
• Used when a single blood pressure medicine is not enough to control levels

HOW IT WORKS

• Telmisartan relaxes blood vessels by blocking a hormone called angiotensin II
• Metoprolol slows the heart rate and reduces the force of heart contraction
• Chlorthalidone is a diuretic that helps the kidneys remove excess salt and water, reducing blood volume
• Together these actions lower blood pressure through three complementary pathways

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Not used for immediate relief of a hypertensive emergency
• Not a painkiller or fever medicine
• Not used for treating infections
• Not suitable for occasional or as-needed use; it is meant for regular, long-term control

This medicine should be taken continuously as advised, even if you feel well, since high blood pressure often has no symptoms.
