Selomet-SR Tablet 50 mg contains Metoprolol Tartrate, a selective β1-adrenergic receptor blocker (beta-blocker) formulated as a sustained-release (SR) tablet. This formulation ensures gradual release of the medication over an extended period, providing consistent blood levels and prolonged therapeutic effect. Metoprolol works by selectively blocking β1 receptors in the heart, reducing heart rate, cardiac output, and myocardial oxygen demand.

Selomet-SR Tablet 50 mg is primarily used for managing cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), angina pectoris (chest pain), heart failure, and certain types of arrhythmias. Its sustained-release design improves patient adherence by reducing the frequency of daily dosing while maintaining stable cardiovascular control.
