How Kimet Xl 12.5 Tablet 10 Works?

- S-Metoprolol (12.5 mg): A cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic blocker that reduces the heart’s rate and force of contraction.

Safety Measures & Warnings
Pregnancy

Breastfeeding
S-Metoprolol passes into breast milk in small amounts. Use during breastfeeding should only be done under medical advice, with monitoring of the infant for symptoms like slow heart rate or drowsiness.
Alcohol
Alcohol can enhance the blood pressure-lowering effect of KIMET XL 12.5 Tablet 10, leading to excessive dizziness or fainting. Limiting or avoiding alcohol is strongly advised.
Liver
Patients with liver disease should take KIMET XL 12.5 Tablet 10 cautiously, as liver impairment may alter the way the medicine is metabolised. Dose adjustment and monitoring may be required.
Kidney
Though S-Metoprolol is mainly metabolised in the liver, patients with kidney disorders should inform their doctor, as changes in circulation and blood pressure control may occur.
