Metpil XR 25 Tablet contains a single active ingredient, Metoprolol Succinate (25 mg). This medicine works on your body as follows:

• Blocks Adrenaline's effects: Metoprolol Succinate blocks the effects of adrenaline, a hormone that can cause your heart to beat faster.

• Reduces cardiac output: By blocking adrenaline, it reduces the amount of blood that the heart pumps out, which lowers the blood pressure.

• Suppresses Renin activity: Metoprolol Succinate suppresses the activity of renin, an enzyme that can increase blood pressure.

• Slows down heart rate: The medicine slows down your heart rate, which reduces the strain on your heart.

• Improves heart pumping: Metoprolol Succinate makes it easier for the heart to pump blood, improving blood flow and reducing the risk of heart-related complications.

• Store Metpil XR 25 Tablet at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Ensure the medicine is out of reach and sight of children.

• Check the expiry date on the package and use before it lapses.

• For those managing high blood pressure or heart failure with Metpil XR 25 Tablet, try to maintain a diet low in salt and saturated fats to support your heart health.

• Regular, moderate exercise such as walking or swimming can also help control blood pressure levels and strengthen your heart. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
