Overview
Embeta-R 2.5 Tablet is commonly prescribed to help manage high blood pressure (hypertension). By lowering blood pressure, it helps reduce the risk of serious health problems such as heart attacks, strokes, and other complications related to the heart and kidneys. Starting treatment early can also improve the chances of survival in individuals who have suffered a heart attack.

This medicine should be taken with food at the same time each day to maintain steady levels in the body. It is important to continue taking it exactly as prescribed, even if you feel fine, because high blood pressure often has no visible symptoms. Stopping the medicine suddenly without medical advice can lead to a worsening of the condition. Along with medication, a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, and maintaining a healthy weight will help improve results.

Some commonly reported side effects may include nausea, dry cough, headache, dizziness, fatigue, low blood pressure, and elevated potassium levels in the blood. It is recommended to avoid potassium-rich foods or supplements while on this medicine. Since dizziness may occur, avoid driving or getting up suddenly from a sitting or lying position. Your doctor may advise periodic checks of blood pressure, kidney function, blood sugar, and electrolyte levels during treatment.

Before starting this medication, inform your doctor about any history of liver or kidney disease. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this tablet. Make sure to tell your doctor about any other medications you are currently taking, particularly those related to heart or blood pressure management.

How It Works
Embeta-R 2.5 Tablet contains two active ingredients: Metoprolol and Ramipril.

• Metoprolol: A beta-blocker that slows down the heart rate and helps the heart pump blood more effectively.

• Ramipril: An ACE inhibitor that relaxes and widens blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow through them.

Together, these actions help reduce blood pressure and lower the risk of cardiovascular complications.
