METADON 100 XL is a prolonged-release beta-blocker tablet provided in Alu-Alu blister packs. Each tablet delivers Metoprolol Succinate 95 mg (equivalent to Metoprolol Tartrate 100 mg), designed for round-the-clock management of hypertension, angina, cardiac arrhythmias, and migraine prevention.

How it Works

Metoprolol is a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist, decreasing heart rate, cardiac output, and blood pressure. It works by blocking the effects of stress hormones, reducing oxygen demand on the heart and improving cardiac efficiency.

Main Uses

• Long-term management of hypertension (high blood pressure)

• Control and prevention of angina pectoris (heart-related chest pain)

• Therapy for cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats)

• Prevention of heart attacks and reduction of migraine frequency

Key Benefits

• Significantly lowers blood pressure, decreasing risk of stroke, heart attack, and heart failure

• Reduces frequency/severity of angina and improves tolerance to physical activity

• Prolonged-release formulation ensures once-daily dosing and continuous effect

Dosage & Administration

• Taken once daily, at the same time, with or after food for best effect

• Swallow whole; do not crush or chew

• Continue therapy exactly as prescribed—even if symptoms resolve abruptly stopping can worsen heart conditions

• Regular monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate is recommended

Safety & Precautions

• Not suitable for severe bradycardia, heart block, uncompensated heart failure, asthma, or severe circulation problems

• Common side effects: dizziness, headache, tiredness, slow heart rate, nausea, depression, rash, diarrhea

• Use only with medical advice in pregnancy/lactation, liver/renal disease, diabetes, or thyroid disorders

• Avoid alcohol, monitor for low blood sugar masking in diabetics, and inform doctor of all other medications

METADON 25 AM is a prescription-only bilayered tablet supplied in Alu/Alu blister packs, designed for the effective management of hypertension and angina pectoris. The combination synergistically lowers blood pressure and reduces heart-related chest pain, improving cardiac function and overall vascular health.

How it Works

• Metoprolol Succinate is a prolonged-release beta-blocker that reduces heart rate and myocardial oxygen demand, improving heart efficiency and lowering blood pressure.

• Amlodipine Besylate is a calcium channel blocker that dilates blood vessels, lowering vascular resistance and easing stress on the heart.

• Together, the combination relaxes blood vessels, reduces heart rate, and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood.

Main Uses

• Treatment of moderate to severe hypertension (high blood pressure)

• Control and prevention of angina pectoris (chest pain due to heart disease)

• Management of conditions like coronary artery disease and other heart-related disorders

Key Benefits

• Reduces risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage due to high blood pressure

• Minimizes frequency and severity of angina attacks

• Allows easier exercise tolerance and improved physical activity in heart patients

• Extended-release and once-daily dosing increase convenience and adherence

Dosage & Administration

• Take once daily with or without food, preferably at the same time every day for optimal effect.

• Do not crush or chew; swallow whole as directed by physician.

• Dosage and duration individualized based on patient response and physician’s advice.

Safety & Precautions

• Common side effects: dizziness, headache, tiredness, nausea, slow heart rate, abdominal pain, constipation, and ankle swelling.

• Not suitable for patients with severe heart failure, heart block, asthma, or serious liver/kidney disease.

• Use only if prescribed in pregnancy or breastfeeding.

• Avoid abrupt discontinuation and alcohol; monitor for unusual side effects or lack of blood pressure control.

METADON 50 XL is a prolonged-release beta-blocker tablet designed for the effective management of hypertension, angina pectoris (chest pain), certain heart rhythm disorders, and the prevention of migraines. Each tablet is supplied in an Alu/Alu blister and provides controlled release of Metoprolol Succinate for round-the-clock blood pressure and cardiac protection.

How it Works

Metoprolol selectively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors, reducing heart rate, blood pressure, and cardiac workload by limiting the effects of adrenaline on the heart and blood vessels. This improves cardiac efficiency, reduces oxygen demand, and helps prevent complications associated with persistent high blood pressure and heart disease.

Main Uses

• Treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure)

• Control of angina pectoris (chest pain related to heart disease)

• Management of arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats)

• Prevention of heart attacks and migraine headaches

Key Benefits

• Reduces cardiovascular risks of stroke, heart attack, and heart failure in hypertensive patients

• Minimizes angina episodes and increases exercise tolerance in heart disease

• Once-daily dosing due to its sustained-release profile improves patient adherence

Dosage & Administration

• Take once daily at the same time, with or after food, as prescribed by the doctor

• Do not break, crush, or chew; swallow whole

• Always continue therapy as directed—even if symptoms resolve abruptly stopping can exacerbate cardiac issues

Safety & Precautions

• Not suitable for those with severe bradycardia, heart block, decompensated heart failure, or certain respiratory conditions like asthma

• Common side effects: dizziness, headache, fatigue, slow heart rate, low blood pressure, nightmares, or stomach upset

• Use only if recommended in pregnancy/lactation and with medical supervision in patients with liver or kidney impairment, diabetes, or thyroid disorders

• Monitor vital signs during dose escalation; avoid alcohol and notify doctor of any severe adverse reactions

METGIN-G2 is an oral antidiabetic medication provided in a blister pack. It contains a fixed-dose combination of Glimepiride and Metformin Hydrochloride for effective control of blood glucose in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

How it Works

• Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea that stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, especially after meals, lowering blood sugar levels.

• Metformin is a biguanide that reduces glucose production by the liver, slows absorption of sugar from the gut, and increases insulin sensitivity in body tissues, further improving glycemic control.

Main Uses

• Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus where diet, exercise, and monotherapy are insufficient.

• Helps prevent diabetes complications such as kidney damage, nerve issues, cardiovascular problems, and vision loss.

Key Benefits

• Improved fasting and postprandial glucose control.

• Reduces risk of long-term complications of diabetes.

• Single-tablet convenience for better adherence.

Dosage & Administration

• Usually taken once or twice daily with meals, dose adjusted as per physician guidance.

• Periodic blood glucose, kidney, and liver function monitoring is recommended.

Safety & Precautions

• Not for patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe renal/hepatic disorders.

• Most common side effects: hypoglycemia, GI disturbances, headache, dizziness.

• Avoid alcohol and confirm suitability if pregnant or breastfeeding.
