How Wal Tartan Beta 50 Tablet 10 Works?Wal Tartan Beta 50 Tablet 10contains two active ingredients that work together:
- Telmisartan: Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It inhibits the action of angiotensin II, a natural substance that narrows blood vessels. By blocking this effect, Telmisartan helps your blood vessels relax and enables your kidneys to eliminate excess water and salt, thus lowering your blood pressure.
- Metoprolol Succinate: This component is a beta-1 selective adrenoceptor blocker. It works by blocking natural chemicals like epinephrine in the heart and blood vessels, reducing heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.
