About Metosartan LN 50 Tablet

Metosartan LN 50 Tablet belongs to the group of anti-hypertensive medicines used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Metosartan LN 50 Tablet helps lower blood pressure, thereby reduces 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. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, nosebleeds, changes in vision, chest pain, weakness and dyspnea (shortness of breath). However, most of the time, the signs and symptoms of hypertension are none.
 
Metosartan LN 50 Tablet is a combination of three drugs, namely: Cilnidipine, Telmisartan, and Metoprolol. Cilnidipine acts on the calcium channels of the blood vessels and suppresses the contraction of blood vessels, thereby helps blood flow smoothly. Telmisartan works by blocking the angiotensin II receptor, thereby relaxes the blood vessels and lowers the blood pressure. Metoprolol slows down the heart rate and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. Together, Metosartan LN 50 Tablet helps treat hypertension.
 
You are advised to take Metosartan LN 50 Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as headache, nausea, dizziness, weakness, decreased blood pressure and slow heart rate. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
 
Try not to stop taking it on your own, as it may cause a sudden increase the blood pressure. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Metosartan LN 50 Tablet is not recommended for children as efficacy and safety have not been established. Metosartan LN 50 Tablet may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Avoid consuming alcohol as it might cause increased dizziness. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects/interactions.

Disease/Condition Glossary

High blood pressure (hypertension): It is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels leading to hypertension. 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. Symptoms of high blood pressure include headache, dizziness, nose bleed, changes in vision, chest pain, weakness and dyspnoea (shortness of breath). However, most of the time, the signs and symptoms of hypertension are none.
