Embeta-R 5 Tablet ER

Product Introduction
Embeta-R 5 Tablet ER is prescribed to manage high blood pressure. By keeping blood pressure under control, it helps lower the chances of heart attacks and strokes in the future. Starting treatment early can also improve recovery and survival rates in individuals who have experienced a heart attack.

This medicine should be taken with food, preferably at the same time each day, to ensure a steady level in your body. It’s important to continue taking it as recommended by your doctor, even if you start to feel well, because high blood pressure usually does not cause noticeable symptoms. Stopping the medication suddenly can worsen your condition. In addition to taking the medicine, regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and eating a balanced diet can help manage blood pressure effectively. Always follow your doctor’s guidance for the best results.

Some people may experience side effects such as nausea, cough, dizziness, headache, weakness, low blood pressure, or increased potassium levels in the blood. It is recommended to limit potassium-rich foods and supplements while on this medication. Since dizziness may occur, avoid driving or getting up too quickly from a sitting or lying position. Regular check-ups to monitor blood pressure, kidney function, blood sugar, urea, and electrolyte levels may be advised by your doctor during the course of treatment.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor about any pre-existing kidney or liver issues. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, seek medical advice first. Also, share details about any other medications you are taking, particularly those for heart conditions or high blood pressure.

Benefits of Embeta-R 5 Tablet ER in Hypertension

For best results, the medicine should be taken regularly and not discontinued without consulting your doctor.

How It Works
Embeta-R 5 Tablet ER is a combination of two active components: Metoprolol and Ramipril. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that slows the heart rate, making the heart work more efficiently. Ramipril is an ACE inhibitor that relaxes and widens the blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing pressure on the heart. Together, they effectively control blood pressure.
