Telista MT 50 Tablet SR

Telista-MT 50 Tablet SR

Introduction

Telista-MT 50 Tablet SR is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that widens and relaxes blood vessels, with Metoprolol (50 mg, sustained release), a beta-blocker that lowers heart rate and decreases strain on the heart. Together, they provide effective blood pressure control, reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage, and help improve overall cardiovascular health.

• Offers sustained release action for prolonged effect with once-daily dosing
• Suitable for patients needing stronger beta-blocker support (50 mg)
