Cortel M 25 Tablet ER

Cortel M 25 Tablet ER is prescribed for managing high blood pressure. By reducing the pressure within the blood vessels, it helps lower the chances of complications such as heart attacks or strokes. Starting treatment early with this medicine may also improve survival in patients who have experienced a heart attack.

This tablet should be taken with food and at the same time every day so that the medicine stays at a steady level in the body. It is important to continue the course for as long as the doctor recommends, even if you feel fine, since high blood pressure generally does not show obvious signs. Stopping it suddenly without medical advice could make the condition worse. Along with medication, lifestyle changes like regular exercise, healthy eating, and maintaining an ideal weight also contribute to better control of blood pressure.

Some people may experience effects such as dizziness, headache, tiredness, low blood pressure, slow heartbeat, increased potassium in the blood, cold hands or feet, nausea, abdominal discomfort, breathlessness, or occasional fainting spells. It is advisable to avoid foods rich in potassium while on this medicine. As it can cause drowsiness or dizziness, avoid driving or standing up suddenly. Regular check-ups may be required to monitor blood pressure, kidney function, electrolytes, and blood sugar levels during treatment.

Before starting the medicine, let the doctor know if you have any existing liver or kidney concerns. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should seek medical advice before use. Also, inform the doctor about any other medicines you are taking for blood pressure or heart problems.

Cortel M 25 Tablet ER works because it combines two active ingredients—Telmisartan, which relaxes the blood vessels, and Metoprolol Succinate, which slows the heart rate and reduces strain on the heart. This combined action helps blood flow more easily and protects against complications such as heart attack, stroke, or kidney issues. The benefits may not be felt immediately, but long-term use helps maintain health and stability.

If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered. If the next dose is close, skip the missed one and return to the usual schedule. Never double the dose.
