Metfirst Xl 25 Tablet 10 contains metoprolol succinate (25 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Beta-1 Receptor Blockade: Metoprolol succinate selectively blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, preventing adrenaline and similar hormones from binding to these receptors.

• Reduces Heart Rate: By blocking these receptors, it slows down your heart rate, making your heart beat with less force and reducing the workload on your cardiovascular system.

• Lowers Blood Pressure: The reduced force of heart contractions leads to decreased pressure in your blood vessels, effectively lowering your blood pressure.

• Decreases Oxygen Demand: By reducing heart rate, it decreases the amount of oxygen your heart muscle needs, which helps prevent chest pain in conditions like chest pain.

• Maintain a low-salt diet to help manage high blood pressure. Reducing sodium intake can complement the blood pressure-lowering effects of metoprolol succinate.
