Nodon T 5/40 Tablet 10's is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It is a combination of two medicines: Nebivolol &  telmisartan which help lower raised blood pressure effectively. Nebivolol is a beta blocker that works specifically on the heart to reduce heart rate and lower blood pressure. Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), that helps in relaxing our blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances (angiotensin) in your body. This lowers your blood pressure and reduces your risk of having a future stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective.

Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Blood pressure is the measurement of the force that our heart uses to pump blood to all parts of the body. When the blood pressure is elevated, the force the blood puts on the walls of the arteries is high and can lead to artery damage. Also, when the heart muscle has to pump blood against high blood pressure, it thickens and enlarges, just like any muscle does when it has to do more work Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when blood supply to the heart is blocked). Hypertension develops slowly over the years and frequently does not cause any symptoms until something severe happens such as a heart attack, stroke, or heart failure. Fortunately, hypertension is easily diagnosed and treated to help prevent this from happening.
