Description of the product

Metoprolol is a medication used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and heart failure. It belongs to a class of drugs known as beta blockers, which work by blocking the effects of certain natural chemicals in the body, such as adrenaline, on the heart and blood vessels. This helps to lower blood pressure, improve blood flow, and reduce the workload on the heart.

Usage

Metoprolol tablets are primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and chest pain (angina).

Metoprolol works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in the body such as epinephrine on the heart and blood vessels. This effect lowers the heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.

It is important to take Metoprolol exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Do not stop taking Metoprolol suddenly, as this can lead to serious heart problems. Consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.
