Metosartan Ch 25 Tablet 10

Metosartan CH 25 Tablet is used for the following:

• Controlling high blood pressure levels in adults

• Decreasing the workload on the heart by reducing heart rate and contractility

• Promoting vasodilation, that is, widening of blood vessels to improve blood flow

• Reducing fluid accumulation in the body by increasing urinary excretion of sodium and water

Here's how you should take Metosartan CH 25 Tablet:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew or crush it.

Metosartan CH 25 Tablet is taken orally.

Metosartan CH 25 Tablet comprises three active ingredients:

• Chlorthalidone (12.5 mg): This thiazide-like diuretic works on the distal convoluted tubules of your kidneys, inhibiting sodium and chloride reabsorption. This action results in increased excretion of sodium, chloride, and water through urine, which helps lower your blood pressure.

• Metoprolol Succinate (25 mg): As a selective β1-adrenergic receptor blocker, it acts on the β1-receptors in your heart to block the effects of catecholamines, chemicals that can raise heart rate and blood pressure. This process reduces heart rate and cardiac output - the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute - lessening the strain on your heart and leading to a decrease in blood pressure.

• Telmisartan (40 mg): A member of angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), telmisartan selectively prevents angiotensin II from binding to its receptor (AT1). The outcome is vasodilation, which means your blood vessels widen and relax, and a reduction in aldosterone secretion - a hormone that can cause water retention. This contributes to the lowering of blood pressure.

• Keep Metosartan CH 25 Tablet in a cool, dry place, ideally at room temperature between 15 to 30 degrees Celsius.

• Protect it from exposure to light and moisture.

• Make sure the medicine is kept securely out of reach of children.

• Always use this medication before its expiry date for maximum effectiveness.

• Maintain a low-salt diet as high sodium intake can worsen hypertension, the condition Metosartan CH 25 Tablet helps manage.

• Engage in regular physical activity like walking or cycling. Regular exercise can help manage high blood pressure by keeping your heart and blood vessels in good condition.
