CompositionMETADON 100 XL TABLET 10 is used to lower and control high blood pressure (hypertension), to prevent the chest pain of angina, and to help manage heart failure in adults. By slowing the heart rate and easing its workload, it helps lower the risk of heart attack and stroke.
It contains metoprolol succinate in an extended-release (XL) form, a selective beta-blocker. Take it as prescribed, swallowing whole without crushing or chewing, and do not stop it suddenly, as this can cause a sharp rise in heart rate or blood pressure.
Reducing salt in your diet, staying active within your doctor's advice, keeping to a healthy weight and quitting smoking support better blood pressure control alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any asthma, a very slow heart rate or diabetes before starting, and about other medicines you take. Report a very slow pulse, marked breathlessness, dizziness or a skin rash.
