High blood pressure (hypertension), Angina (chest pain), Heart failure (stable chronic heart failure), Prevention of heart attack and improvement of survival after myocardial infarction, Control of fast heart rate/arrhythmias (as advised by doctor)
How It Works
Metoprolol is a selective beta-1 blocker that reduces the effect of adrenaline on the heart. It slows the heart rate and decreases the force of contraction, lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart’s oxygen demand. This helps prevent angina and improves symptoms in heart failure.
Directions for Use
Take as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily for extended-release tablets. Swallow whole with water; do not crush or chew. Can be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time each day. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice.
Do not stop abruptly (may worsen angina/trigger heart attack). Use with caution in asthma/COPD, diabetes (may mask low blood sugar symptoms), thyroid disorders, peripheral vascular disease, low heart rate, heart block, and severe heart failure. Monitor blood pressure and pulse regularly. Inform your doctor before surgery/anesthesia.
