Introduction

Starpress T 50-XL Tablet is a prescription medicine that combines Metoprolol Succinate (a beta-blocker) and Telmisartan (an angiotensin receptor blocker – ARB). It is mainly used for the treatment of high blood pressure and to lower the risk of complications such as stroke, heart attack, and other heart-related conditions.
