VRITEL M 25 TABLET

This combination medicine is used to effectively control high blood pressure by working through two complementary mechanisms. Telmisartan relaxes and widens blood vessels by blocking the action of angiotensin-II, reducing vascular resistance. Metoprolol Succinate ER slows the heart rate and decreases the force of heart contraction, reducing cardiac workload and oxygen demand. Together, they provide sustained 24-hour blood pressure control and help protect the heart, brain, and kidneys from long-term damage caused by uncontrolled hypertension.
