Telvas Beta 50 Tablet ER

Product Overview

Telvas Beta 50 Tablet ER is a medication used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). By helping to lower blood pressure, it plays an important role in reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Starting treatment early can also improve survival rates for patients who have experienced a heart attack.

It is recommended to take this tablet with food at the same time each day to maintain steady levels of the medication in your system. You should continue taking it for as long as prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel healthy. Since high blood pressure often has no symptoms, stopping the medication without medical advice can worsen the condition. Alongside treatment, adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, weight management, and a balanced diet can support better blood pressure control. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully while on this medication.

Possible Side Effects

Some individuals may experience side effects such as:

Headache

Weakness

Dizziness

Cold hands and feet

Slow heart rate

Increased potassium levels in the blood

Lowered blood pressure

Sudden drops in blood pressure upon standing (sometimes causing fainting)

Shortness of breath

Nausea or vomiting

Abdominal pain

It is advised to avoid potassium-rich foods and supplements while using this medication. Dizziness may occur, so activities like driving should be avoided until you understand how the medicine affects you. Standing up slowly from a sitting or lying position can help prevent sudden drops in blood pressure. Your doctor may also recommend regular monitoring of blood pressure, blood sugar, kidney function, urea, and electrolyte levels during the course of treatment.

Precautions

Inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney conditions before starting this medication. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider to understand the benefits and risks. It is also important to discuss any other medications you are taking, particularly those used for managing blood pressure or heart conditions, to avoid potential interactions.

Uses

Management of high blood pressure (hypertension)

How It Helps

High blood pressure arises when blood vessels supplying the heart become narrowed, making it difficult for blood to flow efficiently. As a result, the heart works harder to pump blood, which may lead to chest pain, heart attacks, or kidney issues over time.

Telvas Beta 50 Tablet ER helps by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing strain on the heart. It also slows the heart rate, thereby lowering the risk of serious complications such as strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. While you might not feel immediate improvements, regular use of this medication as prescribed is essential for long-term health.

How to Take It

Take the tablet as directed by your doctor.

Swallow the tablet whole without chewing, crushing, or breaking it.

It should be taken with food for better absorption and to minimize side effects.

How It Works

This medication combines two active ingredients — Telmisartan and Metoprolol Succinate — that work together to reduce blood pressure. Telmisartan relaxes blood vessels, while Metoprolol helps slow the heart rate, making it easier for the heart to pump blood effectively.
