Metolar Xr 100 Capsule 10 contains metoprolol succinate (100 mg), which works on your body as follows:

• Beta1-adrenergic receptor blocking: Metoprolol succinate blocks the stimulation of beta1-adrenergic receptors in your heart and vascular smooth muscle by hormones called catecholamines.
• Heart rate reduction: By blocking these receptors, metoprolol succinate decreases your heart rate.
• Decreased cardiac output: This medicine reduces the volume of blood your heart pumps out with each beat, known as cardiac output.
• Lowering blood pressure: A slower heart rate and lower cardiac output result in decreased blood pressure.
• Reduced cardiac workload and oxygen demand: By slowing down your heart rate and lowering blood pressure, metoprolol succinate effectively decreases the work your heart has to do and its need for oxygen.
