Metoprolol succinate (extended-release) 25 mg
Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), chronic stable angina (chest pain), adjunct in chronic heart failure (as prescribed), rate control in certain tachyarrhythmias (as advised by doctor).
Metoprolol is a selective beta-1 adrenergic blocker. It reduces heart rate and the force of contraction, lowering blood pressure and myocardial oxygen demand, thereby helping prevent angina and controlling heart rate.
Tablet (extended-release): take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time, preferably with or immediately after food. Swallow whole; do not crush, chew or split unless advised. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice.
Common side effects of SELOTOL XL 25 TAB may include:
Do not stop abruptly (may worsen angina/trigger rebound hypertension). Use with caution in asthma/COPD, diabetes (may mask hypoglycemia symptoms), peripheral vascular disease, thyroid disorders, depression, liver impairment. Contraindicated in severe bradycardia, 2nd/3rd degree heart block, cardiogenic shock, decompensated heart failure unless stabilized. Monitor BP and pulse regularly.
