Metopole 12.5 Xl Tablet 10 may interact with the following medications:

• Other antihypertensives: If you're taking medicines like atenolol, amlodipine, or diltiazem, Metopole 12.5 Xl Tablet 10 can potentially increase their effects, causing an overly slow heart rate (bradycardia) and low blood pressure.
• CYP2D6 inhibitors: Medicines like fluoxetine and paroxetine, when taken along with the medicine, may increase the level of metoprolol succinate in your body, leading to sudden lowering of blood pressure (hypotension).
• Antiarrhythmics: When used alongside medicines like amiodarone or flecainide, the tablet might alter their effectiveness in managing irregular heart rhythms.

Certain foods can affect the absorption of Metopole 12.5 Xl Tablet 10, such as:

• High-fat meals: Consuming high-fat meals like dairy products, whole eggs, and fatty fish can slow down the absorption of metoprolol succinate, potentially decreasing its efficacy.
• High-sodium food: Foods rich in sodium, like processed cheese and seafood, may reduce the effectiveness of the medicine.

• Bronchospastic disease: Metopole 12.5 Xl Tablet 10 is contraindicated in patients with such conditions.
