Product Introduction

Met XL AM 25/5 Tablet PR is a combination medicine containing two active ingredients that help control high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart rate. It is also used to treat angina (heart-related chest pain), abnormal heart rhythms, and chronic heart failure.

You can take Met XL AM 25/5 Tablet PR with or without food, preferably at the same time each day. Continue taking it as advised by your doctor, even if you feel well, since high blood pressure often shows no symptoms. Regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and following a balanced diet can further improve its effectiveness.

Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, ankle swelling, slow heart rate, nausea, and depression. It may also cause drowsiness; avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you. Since it can raise potassium levels, avoid potassium-rich foods or supplements unless advised by your doctor. Periodic monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels is recommended.

Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use. Also, share details of any other medications you are taking, particularly those for blood pressure or heart conditions.
