METOPROLOLUM (Metoprolol) 100 mg – 1 Box (30 Tablets)
Active Ingredient: Metoprolol 100 mg
Pack Size: 30 tablets
Therapeutic Class: Selective Beta-Blocker (β1-adrenergic receptor blocker)
Description
Metoprolol is a prescription medication used to treat various cardiovascular conditions. It helps slow the heart rate, lower blood pressure, and reduce the heart’s workload.
Uses
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Angina pectoris (chest pain)
- Certain heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias)
- Heart failure (specific formulations)
- Prevention of recurrent heart attacks (myocardial infarction)
- Control of symptoms such as palpitations
How It Works
Metoprolol selectively blocks β1-adrenergic receptors in the heart. This reduces the effects of adrenaline, resulting in:
- Slower heart rate
- Reduced blood pressure
- Decreased oxygen demand by the heart
- Improved cardiac efficiency
Dosage
- Dosage varies depending on the condition and formulation (immediate-release or extended-release).
- 100 mg tablets are commonly used once or twice daily according to a physician’s prescription.
- Take exactly as directed and do not stop treatment abruptly.
Common Side Effects
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Slow heart rate (bradycardia)
- Low blood pressure
- Cold hands and feet
- Sleep disturbances
- Mild gastrointestinal discomfort
Important Precautions
- Do not discontinue suddenly, as this may worsen heart conditions.
- Use cautiously in patients with asthma, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, or liver impairment.
- May mask symptoms of low blood sugar in diabetic patients.
- Regular monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate is recommended.
