Metapol Xl 50mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Description
Metapol 50mg Tablet XL is a medicine used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and heart failure. It contains metoprolol as its active ingredient, which helps relax blood vessels, reduce the workload on the heart, and lower blood pressure. Regular use of this medicine helps prevent heart attacks, strokes, and other heart-related complications.
Metoprolol in Metapol 50mg Tablet XL works by slowing down the heart rate and improving blood flow. This reduces the heart’s oxygen demand and helps control symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue associated with heart conditions.
You should take Metapol 50mg Tablet XL exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow the recommended dosage and timing strictly for optimal results. Do not stop the medicine suddenly, as this can worsen your condition or cause complications. It is not recommended for use in children under 18 years of age.
Before starting Metapol 50mg Tablet XL, inform your doctor about your complete medical history, including heart, liver, or kidney conditions. Also, disclose all other medications, supplements, or herbal products you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.
Some people may experience mild side effects like nausea, dizziness, tiredness, or headache. If these symptoms persist or worsen, contact your doctor immediately. Along with taking this medicine, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking and excess salt, can help control blood pressure and support heart health.
