Cardace Meto 2.5 Tablet ER

Cardace Meto 2.5 Tablet ER is a combination medicine used to control high blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart-related problems. It contains two active ingredients that work together to lower strain on the heart, relax blood vessels, and help blood circulate more smoothly. Regular use of this medicine helps in preventing complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney issues.

The tablet is designed as an extended-release (ER) form, which means it works for a longer duration in the body. It should be taken at the same time each day, with or without food, as directed by your doctor.

Uses
• Management of high blood pressure
• Reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke
• Provides long-term protection to the heart and blood vessels

Benefits
By combining two medicines, Cardace Meto 2.5 Tablet ER offers better blood pressure control than using a single medicine alone. One ingredient relaxes blood vessels, while the other reduces the workload on the heart, ensuring smoother blood flow and more stable blood pressure levels.

Possible side effects
Some people may notice tiredness, dizziness, headache, slow heartbeat, dry cough, nausea, or stomach discomfort. These effects are usually mild and short-lasting. If they become severe or troubling, contact your doctor.

How to take it
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew or crush it, as it is an extended-release form and must release the medicine slowly in the body. Take it exactly as prescribed, preferably at a fixed time every day.

How it works
Cardace Meto 2.5 Tablet ER contains Ramipril, an ACE inhibitor, and Metoprolol, a beta-blocker. Ramipril helps relax blood vessels, while Metoprolol reduces heart rate and the force of contraction, easing the workload on the heart. Together, they effectively control blood pressure and protect the heart from further damage.

Precautions

• Inform your doctor if you have any kidney, liver, or heart-related issues before starting this medicine

• Avoid alcohol, as it may increase drowsiness or dizziness

• Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless specifically advised by your doctor

• Do not drive or operate machines if you feel weak, dizzy, or tired

• Your doctor may suggest regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and heart rate during treatment

Missed dose
If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two tablets together.
