Cardace Meto 5 Tablet ER is a combination medicine used to manage high blood pressure and to lower the chances of serious heart problems. It contains two active medicines that work together to relax blood vessels, control the heartbeat, and ease the workload on the heart. Regular use helps prevent complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.

The ER (extended-release) form of this tablet ensures a steady release of the medicine over time, giving longer-lasting control. It should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, ideally at the same time every day, with or without food.

Uses
• Treatment of high blood pressure
• Helps reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack
• Provides protection to the heart and blood vessels

Benefits
Cardace Meto 5 combines two medicines for better results. One widens blood vessels to improve blood flow, while the other slows down the heart rate and reduces its workload. This combined action helps maintain healthy blood pressure and prevents long-term damage to vital organs.

Possible side effects
Some common effects may include dizziness, headache, slow heartbeat, tiredness, dry cough, nausea, stomach upset, or feeling lightheaded. These usually go away on their own, but if they continue or cause discomfort, consult your doctor.

How to take it
Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or break it, as it is an extended-release tablet meant to release the medicine slowly. Take it regularly as advised, preferably at a fixed time each day.

How it works
Cardace Meto 5 Tablet ER contains Ramipril, an ACE inhibitor, and Metoprolol, a beta-blocker. Ramipril relaxes blood vessels so blood can flow more freely, while Metoprolol slows down the heart rate and reduces the force of contraction. Together, they lower blood pressure and protect the heart.
