Uses

High blood pressure
Angina
Heart failure
Irregular heartbeat

Benefits

In High blood pressure: Starpress XL slows the heart a little and lets it beat with less force, bringing blood pressure down and reducing the long-term risk of stroke and heart attack.
In Angina: Starpress XL reduces how hard the heart has to work, so it needs less oxygen and you get fewer episodes of chest pain on exertion.
In Heart failure: Starpress XL protects a weakened heart from the stress hormones that would otherwise strain it further, improving how well it pumps over time and lowering the risk of hospital admission.
In Irregular heartbeat: Starpress XL steadies the heart's rhythm and keeps the rate from racing, which eases palpitations and the dizziness or breathlessness that come with them.

Side effects

Most side effects of Starpress XL are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

Tiredness
Cold hands and feet
Slow pulse
Dizziness
Disturbed sleep
Breathlessness

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

How to use

Use this medicine as your doctor has directed. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

How it works

Metoprolol Succinate slows the heart and reduces the force of each beat by blocking the effect of adrenaline, so the heart works less hard and uses less oxygen.

Safety advice

AlcoholCAUTION: Alcohol may worsen the side effects of this medicine. Limit it.
PregnancyCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor before using this in pregnancy.
Breast feedingCAUTION: Use with caution while breastfeeding; watch the baby for any unusual symptoms.
DrivingCAUTION: May cause drowsiness or affect your concentration. Do not drive until you know how it affects you.
KidneyCAUTION: Use with caution if you have kidney disease. Your doctor may adjust the dose or monitor your kidney function.

Warnings & precautions

Never stop this medicine suddenly. Stopping abruptly can cause a sharp rise in blood pressure, worsening chest pain or a heart attack — your doctor will reduce it gradually. Tell your doctor if you have asthma or long-standing lung disease; this group can tighten the airways. If you have diabetes, be aware that this medicine can mask the early warning signs of low blood sugar, apart from sweating. Report a resting pulse that is persistently very slow, or fainting.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause a dangerously slow heartbeat, a severe fall in blood pressure, wheezing and fits. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Quick tips

Take it at the same time each day and do not miss doses.
Learn to check your own pulse, and report a persistently slow one.
