Betacard Tablet 50 mg contains Metoprolol Tartrate, a selective beta₁-adrenergic receptor blocker (beta-blocker) used to treat a variety of cardiovascular conditions, including high blood pressure (hypertension), angina pectoris (chest pain), certain heart rhythm disorders, and acute myocardial infarction (heart attack). By reducing the workload on the heart, Metoprolol helps improve heart function and lowers the risk of serious cardiovascular complications.

Metoprolol works by selectively blocking beta₁ receptors in the heart, reducing the effects of adrenaline and other stress hormones. This action slows the heart rate, decreases the force of heart contractions, and lowers blood pressure, resulting in reduced oxygen demand by the heart muscle. These effects help control blood pressure, prevent angina attacks, improve heart rhythm, and reduce the risk of recurrent heart attacks.

Betacard Tablet 50 mg is often prescribed as part of a comprehensive cardiovascular treatment plan that may include lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, smoking cessation, and weight management. Regular use as directed by a healthcare professional helps maintain stable blood pressure and supports long-term heart health.

How Betacard Tablet Works

Metoprolol Tartrate is a cardioselective beta₁-blocker that blocks beta₁-adrenergic receptors in the heart. This reduces heart rate, decreases the force of cardiac contractions, and lowers blood pressure, thereby reducing the heart's oxygen demand and improving cardiovascular efficiency.

Dosage and Administration

Take Betacard Tablet 50 mg exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

• Swallow the tablet with a glass of water.
