Description
Metolar 50 mg containing Metoprolol (active ingredient) is given for hypertension, reducing the risk of future cardiovascular problems. This drug effectively prevents angina (chest pain) and will help you survive a heart attack. An extended-release or long-acting Metoprolol tablet contains the active ingredient Metoprolol. This beta blocker works by reducing the pressure on the heart and reducing the heart’s workload. When a beta-blocker is given within an hour of a heart attack’s start, it may lower the chances of early death after a heart attack.
