Product Overview

Metolar TL 50 Tablet is a medication commonly used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). By effectively lowering blood pressure, it helps reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular complications. Early treatment with this tablet can also improve survival rates for individuals who have experienced a heart attack.

It is recommended to take this medicine with food at the same time each day to maintain a steady level in your bloodstream. It’s important to continue taking it regularly, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Stopping the medicine without medical advice can worsen your condition. Along with the treatment, staying physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, and following a balanced diet can support better blood pressure control.

Uses

Metolar TL Tablet is primarily used for:

Managing high blood pressure

Benefits

In controlling high blood pressure:
Hypertension occurs when blood vessels narrow, making it harder for blood to flow smoothly. This can increase heart rate and strain the heart, potentially leading to chest pain or heart attacks.
Metolar TL 50 Tablet works by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. This reduces pressure on the heart and slows the heart rate, decreasing the likelihood of strokes, heart attacks, or kidney problems. Even if you don’t feel any immediate benefits, continued use helps prevent long-term health issues.

How to Use

Take this tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow it whole with food; do not chew, crush, or break it. Regular use at the same time daily ensures maximum effectiveness.

How It Works

Metolar TL 50 Tablet combines two active ingredients, Telmisartan and Metoprolol Succinate, that work together to lower blood pressure. Telmisartan relaxes blood vessels, while Metoprolol slows the heart rate, reducing the effort needed by the heart to pump blood.
