Metoprolol 50mg Tablets 28’s

Description

Metoprolol is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as beta blockers. It is commonly prescribed to treat various conditions including high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (chest pain), heart failure, and to improve survival after a heart attack. The typical starting dose for metoprolol for hypertension is often 25-100 mg taken once daily. For angina or heart failure, the dosage may vary depending on individual circumstances and is usually determined by a healthcare provider. It’s important to take metoprolol exactly as prescribed by your doctor and to follow their instructions carefully. Do not suddenly stop taking metoprolol without consulting your doctor, as this can lead to serious complications. Common side effects of metoprolol may include fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, slow heartbeat, and gastrointestinal disturbances. More serious side effects can occur, including worsening heart failure, bronchospasm in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and masking of symptoms of low blood sugar in people with diabetes. Always discuss any concerns or questions you have about metoprolol with your healthcare provider. They can provide guidance tailored to your individual health needs.
