Betaloc Tablet 50 mg contains Metoprolol Tartrate, a cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker widely used in the management of various cardiovascular conditions. It works by reducing the effects of stress hormones such as adrenaline on the heart, thereby lowering heart rate, decreasing blood pressure, and reducing the heart’s workload.

This medication is commonly prescribed for patients with high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), irregular heart rhythms, and after a heart attack to improve survival and prevent further complications.
