Can my dad take Metloc and Telmisartan at the same time? I'm worried because he forgot to tell the doctor that he's already taking Telmisartan. Should I be concerned about any interactions or side effects from combining these medications?

Metoprolol is a beta-blocker and Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker. They can be safely taken together to manage high blood pressure. The usual dosage of Metoprolol is 25-100mg twice daily, and Telmisartan is typically taken at a dosage of 40-80mg once daily.
