METADON 50 XL

Description

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
