Uses / Indications:
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Protecting the heart in those with certain cardiac problems
Lowering the risk of heart attacks and strokes
Pregnancy interaction:
Telmisartan (25 mg): Not advised during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters due to the potential risk of fetal renal impairment, reduced amniotic fluid, or fetal demise.
Metoprolol (25 mg): This drug is a beta-blocker that is usually thought to be safe to take during pregnancy, but it could make the baby's heart rate slow or blood sugar low if you take it close to birth.
Advice: If you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, tell your doctor right away. You might want to think about safer options.
Expert advice:
Check your blood pressure, heart rate, renal function, and electrolytes.
Don't stop taking metoprolol all at once.
Please inform your doctor about all the other medications you are using, including over-the-counter or herbal ones.
Look for signs including dizziness, edema, tiredness, or an irregular heartbeat.
Side Effects:

Severe hypotension, which means very low blood pressure
Breathing problems, edema, or passing out

How to use:
Take it once a day, at the same time every day, if possible.
Do not crumble or chew; just swallow whole with water.

Stick to the dose that your doctor tells you to take.
How it works:
Telmisartan (25 mg): This drug blocks angiotensin II receptors, which relaxes blood arteries and reduces blood pressure.
Metoprolol (25 mg) is a beta-blocker that lowers blood pressure and protects the heart by lowering the heart rate and workload.
Combined Effect: Gives you two ways to regulate your blood pressure and protect your heart.
Faq for medicine:
Q1: What does Weltelmi MT do?
It helps protect the heart in certain situations and treats high blood pressure, also known as hypertension.
Q2: Is it safe to take Weltelmi MT with food?
Yes, you can take it with or without food.
Q3: How long will it take to work?
It may take 1 to 2 weeks for blood pressure to go down and 4 to 8 weeks for the full effect to be felt.
Q4: Would it be possible for me to quit it all at once?
No. If you stop taking beta-blockers suddenly, your heart rate may speed up, your blood pressure may go up, or you may have chest pain. Always talk to your doctor.
Q5: Would it be possible to take it for liver or kidney issues?
Be careful. You should monitor your kidneys, liver, and electrolytes closely.
Medicine interaction:
Other blood pressure medications: May raise the chance of having low blood pressure.
Heart drugs (digoxin, amiodarone): May change the rate of your heart.
Diabetes drugs can affect blood sugar levels.
NSAIDs like ibuprofen and naproxen may make the drug less effective and hurt the kidneys.
Other beta-blockers may enhance the drug's effects, potentially leading to bradycardia.
