Betaloc Tablet 25 mg contains Metoprolol Tartrate, a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker used to manage a range of cardiovascular conditions. It is primarily prescribed to control high blood pressure, treat chest pain (angina), regulate irregular heart rhythms, and improve outcomes after a heart attack. By reducing the workload on the heart, Betaloc helps maintain stable heart function and supports long-term cardiovascular health.

Metoprolol Tartrate works specifically on beta-1 receptors located in the heart. By blocking the action of stress hormones such as adrenaline, it slows down the heart rate and decreases the force of contraction. This results in lower blood pressure and reduced oxygen demand of the heart muscle.
