Telma-Beta AM Tablet 10's is used in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It helps lower blood pressure, thereby reducing the chances of heart problems such as heart attack and stroke. High blood pressure is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels.

Telma-Beta AM Tablet 10's belongs to the group of anti-hypertensive medicines. It is a combination of three drugs: Metoprolol tartrate, Amlodipine, and Telmisartan. Metoprolol tartrate slows the heart rate and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. Amlodipine acts on the calcium channels of the blood vessels and suppresses the contraction of blood vessels, helping the blood flow smoothly. Telmisartan works by blocking the angiotensin II receptor, thereby relaxing the blood vessels and lowering the blood pressure. Together, they help lower high blood pressure.

Hypertension (High blood pressure): Hypertension is a chronic condition in which blood pressure is too high. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when the blood supply to the heart is blocked). Additionally, high blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Normal blood pressure lies between 90/60 mm of Hg and 120/80 mm of Hg. If the blood pressure is 140/90 mmHg or greater, it is considered high blood pressure.
