Metaloc Tablet 50 mg contains Metoprolol Tartrate, a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker used primarily for 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 in managing hypertension, angina, and certain heart rhythm disorders.

This tablet provides a convenient oral dosage, allowing patients to manage cardiovascular conditions efficiently under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Metoprolol Tartrate 50 mg

Mechanism of Action

Metoprolol Tartrate is a cardioselective beta-blocker that:

• Blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart

• Reduces heart rate and myocardial contractility

• Lowers blood pressure and decreases oxygen demand of the heart

• Helps control abnormal heart rhythms and prevents angina attacks

By selectively targeting cardiac beta-1 receptors, it minimizes respiratory side effects compared to non-selective beta-blockers.

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)

• Angina pectoris (chest pain)

• Heart failure in selected patients

• Myocardial infarction (to reduce complications after a heart attack)

• Typical dose: 50 mg orally, once or twice daily, depending on condition and response

• Swallow the tablet whole with water

• Do not abruptly stop therapy without consulting a doctor, as it may cause rebound hypertension or angina

Precautions

• Use with caution in patients with bradycardia, severe heart failure, or hypotension

• Avoid in patients with severe asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

• Monitor blood pressure and heart rate regularly during therapy

• Inform your doctor if pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding
