About D Blok M 50 Tablet

D Blok M 50 Tablet contains a combination of anti-hypertensive medications used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). D Blok M 50 Tablet is used when a single medication is ineffective in treating blood pressure. Besides this, lowering blood pressure also protects the heart from a future heart attack.
