Cortel M 50 Tablet ER

Cortel M 50 Tablet ER is prescribed for the management of high blood pressure. By helping to lower blood pressure, it reduces the chances of serious problems like heart attacks and strokes. Beginning treatment early with this medicine may also support better survival outcomes in people who have had a heart attack.

This medicine should always be taken with food, ideally at the same time each day, so that the level of the drug in the blood remains stable. Continue using it as long as your doctor recommends. Even if you start feeling well, do not discontinue the tablets on your own since high blood pressure rarely causes noticeable symptoms. Stopping suddenly can make the condition worse. Regular physical activity, weight control, and healthy eating habits can further improve blood pressure control, along with medical treatment.

Some people may experience effects such as tiredness, dizziness, headache, nausea, stomach discomfort, low blood pressure, breathlessness, slow heartbeat, cold hands or feet, and occasionally fainting due to sudden drops in blood pressure. Levels of potassium in the blood may also rise. Avoiding potassium-rich foods and supplements while on this treatment is generally advised. Since the medicine may make you dizzy, avoid driving or standing up too quickly. Your doctor may recommend routine tests to monitor blood pressure, blood sugar, kidney health, and electrolyte balance during therapy.

It is important to inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney-related concerns before starting this medicine. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should seek medical guidance before use. You should also share details of any other ongoing medications, particularly those for heart or blood pressure problems.

Cortel M 50 Tablet ER contains two active components—Telmisartan, which relaxes and widens the blood vessels, and Metoprolol Succinate, which slows the heart rate and eases strain on the heart. Together, these actions improve blood circulation, reduce pressure on the heart, and lower the risk of complications like stroke, kidney problems, or heart attack. The benefits are long term and may not be felt immediately, so consistent use is essential.
