Hypertension (high blood pressure), angina pectoris, chronic heart failure (stable), rate control in certain tachyarrhythmias (as prescribed), prevention of cardiovascular events in at-risk patients

Metoprolol is a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker. It reduces heart rate and the force of contraction, lowering blood pressure and myocardial oxygen demand. This helps control hypertension and angina and improves outcomes in selected heart failure patients.

Tablet for oral use. Take exactly as prescribed, preferably at the same time each day. Can be taken with or without food; take consistently the same way. Swallow whole (do not crush/chew if extended-release); do not stop suddenly without medical advice.

Dizziness, fatigue, slow heart rate (bradycardia), low blood pressure, cold extremities, headache, nausea, sleep disturbances

Do not stop abruptly (may worsen angina/trigger arrhythmia). Use with caution in asthma/COPD, diabetes (may mask hypoglycaemia symptoms), peripheral vascular disease, thyroid disorders, and in patients with bradycardia, heart block, or acute decompensated heart failure. Monitor blood pressure and pulse. May cause dizziness—avoid driving if affected.

Other antihypertensives (additive hypotension), calcium channel blockers like verapamil/diltiazem (bradycardia/heart block), digoxin (bradycardia), antiarrhythmics like amiodarone (conduction issues), clonidine (rebound hypertension if stopped improperly), insulin/oral antidiabetics (masks hypoglycaemia), NSAIDs (may reduce BP-lowering effect), CYP2D6 inhibitors like fluoxetine/paroxetine/quinidine (increase metoprolol levels)

Store below 25°C in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep in original pack and out of reach of children.
