Starcad-T 25 Tablet is primarily used to manage hypertension, commonly referred to as high blood pressure. This medication falls under the category of combination medicines, belonging to the classes of beta-blockers and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs).

Starcad-T 25 Tablet may have the following common side effects:

Dizziness
Fatigue
Bradycardia: This refers to a slow heart rate, which can cause you to feel faint or weak.
Cold extremities
Gastrointestinal disturbances: These can include symptoms such as diarrhoea, constipation, or nausea.
Back pain
Respiratory tract infection: This might cause symptoms like a cough, sore throat, or difficulty breathing.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Starcad-T 25 Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Gastrointestinal disturbances: Try taking Starcad-T 25 Tablet with food to lessen these effects.
Bradycardia: If you find that a slow heart rate affects your daily activities, consider taking this medicine at night.

The effectiveness of Starcad-T 25 Tablet in managing hypertension and reducing cardiovascular risk results from the combined functions of its two active components:

S-Metoprolol (25 mg): As a beta-blocker, S-Metoprolol primarily acts on the heart and blood vessels. It slows down your heart rate and lessens the force of your heart's contractions, reducing the workload on your heart and thereby lowering your blood pressure. Additionally, it aids in relaxing and widening your blood vessels, which improves your blood flow.
Telmisartan (40 mg): Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes your blood vessels to constrict. By preventing angiotensin II from binding to its receptors, Telmisartan allows your blood vessels to relax and widen, which reduces your blood pressure and boosts the supply of blood and oxygen to your heart.

Pregnancy

Starcad-T 25 Tablet can harm a developing foetus. As soon as you know you're pregnant, stop taking this medicine and consult your doctor.
