Metaloc Tablet 100 mg contains Metoprolol Tartrate, a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker used to manage cardiovascular conditions. By selectively blocking beta-1 receptors in the heart, it helps reduce heart rate, lower blood pressure, and decrease cardiac workload, making it effective for hypertension, angina, and certain heart rhythm disorders.

This higher-dose tablet provides convenient oral administration for patients requiring stronger beta-blocker therapy under professional supervision.
