CompositionSeloken XL 25 Tablet is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (chest pain), and certain irregular heart rhythms. By steadying heart function, it helps lower the risk of future heart problems.
It contains metoprolol and belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. Its long-acting (XL) form works steadily through the day by slowing the heart rate and reducing the heart's workload, which lowers blood pressure and helps the heart pump more efficiently. Take it at the same time each day, and do not stop it suddenly, as this can cause a dangerous rebound in blood pressure and heart rate.
Healthy lifestyle changes support treatment alongside this medicine. These include reducing salt in your diet, staying active as advised, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have asthma or breathing problems, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or a slow heart rate, or are taking other medicines. Stand up slowly to reduce dizziness, and tell your doctor about a very slow heartbeat, cold hands and feet, or persistent breathlessness.
