How Does It Work?

• Metoprolol works by slowing the heart rate and relaxing blood vessels and reduces high blood pressure
• Angiotensin II is a substance produced in the body which causes the narrowing of blood vessels. It leads to an increase in blood pressure
• Telmisartan prevents the binding of Angiotensin II to its receptors and causes the blood vessels to relax and lowers the blood pressure
