About NEBIVOLOL+TELMISARTAN
NEBIVOLOL+TELMISARTAN belongs to a class of medications called 'Anti hypertensives' primarily used to treat high blood pressure.NEBIVOLOL+TELMISARTAN is a combination of two drugs namely Nebivolol (Beta-blocker) & telmisartan (Angiotensin receptor blocker). Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery wall is high. As a result, it leads to heart disease, irregular heartbeat, and other complications.
NEBIVOLOL+TELMISARTAN is a combination of two medicines: Nebivolol & telmisartan, which help lower raised blood pressure effectively. Nebivolol is a blood pressure-lowering drug that belongs to a class of beta blockers. it works by relaxing blood pressure & slowing heart rate to improve blood circulation and decrease blood pressure. Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking the hormone angiotensin, thereby relaxing blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently. Together, they are used to treat patients with hypertension who cant be treated with a single drug.
You can take NEBIVOLOL+TELMISARTAN with food or without food. It should be swallowed with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite or break it.

Uses of NEBIVOLOL+TELMISARTAN
Medicinal Benefits
NEBIVOLOL+TELMISARTAN 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.

Disease/Condition Glossary
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.
