Composition

• Metoprolol Tartrate 100 mg

• Per tablet

Therapeutic Class

• Beta-blocker (Selective beta-1 adrenergic blocker)

Mechanism of Action

Metoprolol selectively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors in cardiac tissue. This results in reduced heart rate, decreased myocardial contractility, and lowered cardiac output. Consequently, oxygen demand of the heart is reduced, which helps relieve angina symptoms and protect the heart from excessive workload. Its cardioselective action makes it suitable for long-term use in many patients when prescribed appropriately.

Indications

Metoprol-XL Tablet 100 mg is indicated for the management of:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)

• Angina pectoris

• Cardiac arrhythmias including supraventricular tachycardia

• Chronic heart failure as part of combination therapy

• Control of heart rate in various cardiovascular conditions as directed by a physician

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Metoprol-XL Tablet 100 mg is individualized based on the patient’s clinical condition and therapeutic response. The tablet should be taken orally with or immediately after meals, preferably at the same time each day. It should be swallowed whole with water. Dose titration should be gradual, and treatment should not be stopped abruptly, as sudden withdrawal may lead to worsening of cardiac symptoms.
