Metozen Xl 50 Tabs (20X10) Metoprolol 50 Mg Extended Release by Elder

What is it used for?
Metoprolol extended release is used to lower high blood pressure and help manage certain heart conditions, including fast or irregular heartbeat, angina (heart-related chest pain), and some cases of heart failure. The exact use depends on the doctor's prescription.

How does it work?
It is a beta-blocker that slows the heart rate and reduces the force of the heartbeat. This lowers the heart's workload and can help reduce blood pressure.

How to take/use it
Take it exactly as prescribed, preferably at the same time each day. Swallow the extended-release tablet whole; do not crush or chew it. Do not stop treatment suddenly without medical advice.

Common side effects
Tiredness, dizziness, slow heartbeat, low blood pressure, cold hands or feet, nausea, and sleep problems may occur.

Precautions
Tell the doctor if there is asthma or other breathing disease, diabetes, a very slow heartbeat, low blood pressure, circulation problems, heart failure, or liver disease. Metoprolol may hide some warning signs of low blood sugar. Avoid driving if dizzy. Seek medical help for fainting, severe breathing difficulty, or a very slow or irregular heartbeat.
