CompositionMetoprol XL 50 Tablet is used to manage high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and long-term heart failure. It helps keep the heart rate steady and reduces the strain on the heart, which can ease symptoms such as chest pain and breathlessness and lower the risk of long-term complications.
It contains metoprolol in an extended-release form and belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. Take it as prescribed, to keep steady levels in the body. Do not stop it suddenly, as the dose usually needs to be reduced gradually under your doctor's guidance.
Alongside this medicine, reducing salt in your diet, staying physically active as advised, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol, and quitting smoking all help support heart health and blood pressure control.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have asthma, a naturally slow pulse, circulation problems in the hands and feet, diabetes, or are taking other medicines. Report a very slow heartbeat, marked breathlessness, or swelling. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.
