Sartel Beta Plus 12.5mg/50mg/40mg Tablet ER

Product Introduction
Sartel Beta Plus 12.5mg/50mg/40mg Tablet ER is a combination medication used to manage high blood pressure. It works by relaxing the blood vessels, improving blood flow, reducing the strain on the heart, and helping the heart pump more effectively. It also eliminates excess water and certain salts from the body through urine, which further helps in lowering blood pressure.

This medicine can be taken with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time every day for maximum benefit. Since it increases urine production, it is preferable to take it in the morning or at least four hours before going to bed to avoid waking up at night to urinate. Always follow the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Your doctor will decide the correct dosage based on your condition and response to treatment.

Some common side effects that may occur include nausea, stomach discomfort, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, and feeling tired. Regular monitoring of kidney health and electrolyte levels is important while using this medication. For best results, combine the treatment with healthy lifestyle habits like a balanced diet, regular physical activity, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption. Make sure to stay well-hydrated to relieve symptoms like dry mouth or excessive thirst.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of liver, kidney, or circulation-related problems. Also, let your doctor know about any other medicines you are taking to avoid possible interactions.

Uses
This tablet is mainly prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure.

Benefits
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a chronic condition where the force of blood pushing against the artery walls remains elevated for a long time. This can damage blood vessels and strain the heart. Sartel Beta Plus helps reduce blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, reducing the workload of the heart, and removing excess fluids from the body. By keeping blood pressure under control, it lowers the chances of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney-related problems, supporting overall cardiovascular health.

Possible Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and tend to go away as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, if they persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor.

• Nausea or vomiting

• Diarrhea

• Upset stomach

• Headache

• Dizziness

• Cold hands or feet

• Numbness in arms or legs

• Changes in cholesterol levels

• Slower heart rate than usual

• Low blood pressure

How to Take
Swallow the tablet whole with water, without crushing or breaking it. Take it exactly as directed by your doctor, preferably at a fixed time each day, with or without meals.

How it Works
This tablet contains three active components:

• Chlorthalidone is a diuretic that helps the body get rid of extra water and certain salts through urine. Over time, it also relaxes blood vessels to improve blood flow.

• Metoprolol Succinate is a beta-blocker that slows down the heart rate, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.

• Telmisartan blocks the action of a hormone called angiotensin, which normally tightens blood vessels, leading to relaxation of the vessels and lower blood pressure.

Important Safety Information

• Alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medication as it can increase side effects such as dizziness or drowsiness.

• Pregnancy: Not recommended during pregnancy as it may harm the developing baby. It should only be used if the potential benefits outweigh the risks, as determined by a doctor.

• Breastfeeding: The medicine may pass into breast milk and affect the baby, so it is best to consult a doctor before use.

• Driving: This medicine can cause dizziness, blurred vision, or sleepiness. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery if you experience these effects.

• Kidney Problems: If you have kidney issues, the dosage may need adjustment, or the medicine may not be suitable. Always seek medical advice before use.

• Liver Problems: Patients with liver disease should take this medicine cautiously, and those with severe liver problems should avoid it.

Missed Dose
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular routine. Do not take extra medicine to make up for the missed dose.
