Telmisartan 40mg + Metoprolol 50mg + Cilnidipine 10mg

Telmisartan 40mg + Metoprolol 50mg + Cilnidipine 10mg — Uses and Benefits

This medicine is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), especially when it needs to be controlled with more than one type of medicine.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Long-term control of high blood pressure
• Reducing strain on the heart and blood vessels
• Lowering risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney problems linked to uncontrolled blood pressure

HOW IT WORKS

• Telmisartan blocks a hormone (angiotensin II) that narrows blood vessels, helping vessels relax
• Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that slows the heart rate and reduces the force of heartbeats
• Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessel walls, lowering blood pressure further
• Together they give more complete blood pressure control than a single drug alone

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Not for emergency treatment of very high blood pressure crisis
• Not a painkiller or fever medicine
• Not for treating infections
• Not for immediate relief of chest pain episodes
