Mode of Action of Tazloc Beta 25mg Tablet

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.
