Description
METADON 50 AM is a bilayered, prolonged-release antihypertensive tablet delivered in Alu/Alu blister packs. This synergistic combination therapy effectively lowers blood pressure and heart rate, while providing relief from angina (chest pain) and cardiovascular risks associated with high blood pressure.
How it Works
-
Metoprolol Succinate is a selective beta-blocker that decreases heart rate and contractility, lowering cardiac workload and blood pressure.
-
Amlodipine Besylate is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and dilates blood vessels, resulting in reduced resistance, easier blood flow, and diminished heart stress.
-
Both components work together to relieve cardiac symptoms, prevent hypertension-related complications, and improve exercise tolerance.
