Description
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.
