Description

Metoprolol Succinate Extended Release Tablets U.S.P. 50 mg

Metoprolol Succinate Extended Release Tablets are a beta-1 selective adrenergic receptor blocker (beta-blocker) used primarily to manage high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (chest pain), and to improve survival after a heart attack. The extended-release formulation ensures a steady release of the medication over 24 hours, maintaining consistent blood levels for effective control of cardiovascular conditions.

Indications:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)

• Angina pectoris

• Heart failure (as adjunctive therapy)

• Myocardial infarction (post-heart attack management)

Mechanism of Action:
Metoprolol works by blocking beta-1 receptors in the heart, reducing heart rate, cardiac output, and blood pressure, which decreases the heart’s workload and oxygen demand.

Dosage & Administration:
Typically taken once daily or as directed by a healthcare professional. Tablets should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed.
