Therapeutic Category: 

• Beta-blocker (Cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic blocker).

• Each tablet contains 50mg of Metoprolol Succinate I.P. (Indian Pharmacopoeia). The succinate salt is built into a special pellet matrix that slowly releases the drug uniformly over 24 hours.

Usage & Safety Information

• Directions/Usage:
  • Take exactly one tablet once daily at the same time every day, either with or without food.
  • Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
  • Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet. Damaging the tablet destroys the 24-hour slow-release mechanism and can release too much medicine at once.
  • Never stop taking this medication suddenly. Stopping beta-blockers abruptly can cause your blood pressure to spike dangerously, trigger irregular heartbeats, or provoke a heart attack. Any dose reduction must be tapered down slowly by your doctor. 
• Common Side Effects: Generally well tolerated, but common side effects can include:
  • Dizziness, light-headedness, or feeling tired (fatigue).
  • Slow heart rate (bradycardia).
  • Cold hands and feet due to reduced circulation.
  • Shortness of breath or mild stomach upset. 

Package Type:

•  Blister packs enclosed in a box, usually containing 30 tablets per box (packaged as 3 strips of 10 tablets). 

Storage Advice: 

• Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C to 30°C. Keep the package away from direct moisture, heat, and safety-locked away from children. 
• Safety Advice:
  • Do not take this medication if you have a naturally very slow heart rate, severe heart block, or advanced heart failure failure unless directed by a specialist.
  • Inform your provider if you have a history of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or diabetes, as beta-blockers can mask symptoms of low blood sugar.
  • Avoid driving or operating machinery right after taking it if it makes you feel drowsy or dizzy.
