Telbrit NB 40/2.5 Tablet 15's

Telbrit NB 40/2.5 Tablet belongs to a class of medications called 'anti-hypertensives' primarily used to treat high blood pressure. 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.

Telbrit NB 40/2.5 Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely  Nebivolol (Beta-blocker) & telmisartan (Angiotensin receptor blocker). Nebivolol works by relaxing blood pressure & slowing heart rate to improve blood circulation and decrease blood pressure. Telmisartan 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. 

In some cases, you may experience headache, nausea, dizziness, increased potassium level, Swollen legs, ankles, or feet, and low blood pressure. Most of these side effects of Telbrit NB 40/2.5 Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are suffering from any kidney/liver/heart disease or are diabetic. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It should not be given to children less than 18 years of age. Do not use Telbrit NB 40/2.5 Tablet if you have low blood pressure (hypotension) or cardiogenic shock (sudden stopping of blood flow to the heart). Please tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines or are allergic to Telbrit NB 40/2.5 Tablet .

Telbrit NB 40/2.5 Tablet 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 the 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.
