🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine combines two active ingredients with complementary mechanisms. Telmisartan selectively blocks angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors, preventing angiotensin II from causing vasoconstriction and aldosterone release, which lowers blood pressure and reduces fluid retention. Metoprolol Succinate is a cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic blocker that reduces heart rate, myocardial contractility, and cardiac output, thereby lowering blood pressure and myocardial oxygen demand. Together, they provide effective blood pressure control and reduce cardiovascular events.

Dosage Information
| Adult Dosage | The usual adult dose is one tablet of Telmisartan 40 mg and Metoprolol Succinate 23.75 mg taken orally once daily, preferably in the morning. The dose may be adjusted by your doctor based on your blood pressure response and tolerance. Do not exceed the prescribed dose. Dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician based on indication, age, weight, renal and hepatic function. |

| Elderly Dosage | Elderly patients may be more sensitive to the effects of this medicine, especially dizziness and low blood pressure. Start with a low dose and monitor closely. Dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician. |
