Starpress XL 12.5 Tablet contains metoprolol succinate (12.5 mg), which works on your body through the following mechanisms:

• Beta 1 Adrenergic Receptor Blocking: Metoprolol succinate effectively blocks the beta1 adrenergic receptors present in your heart. This action reduces both your heart rate and the strength of contraction.

• Heart Workload Reduction: By slowing down the heart rate and decreasing the force of contraction, metoprolol succinate significantly reduces the workload of your heart and lowers its oxygen needs.

• Blood Vessel Dilation: Metoprolol succinate can cause dilation or widening of blood vessels which helps in lowering blood pressure.

• Cardiac Electrical Activity Stabilisation: The medicine stabilises the electrical activity within your heart, contributing to orderly and efficient heart function.
