Product introduction
Met XL AM 50/5 Tablet is a combination medicine used to control high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart rate. It is also prescribed for angina (heart-related chest pain), abnormal heart rhythms, and chronic heart failure.
You can take Met XL AM 50/5 Tablet with or without food, preferably at the same time every 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 will further help manage blood pressure effectively.
Common side effects may include headache, ankle swelling, skin rash, slow heart rate, nausea, and depression. It may also cause dizziness, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you. This medicine may increase potassium levels in the blood—avoid potassium-rich foods or supplements unless advised by your doctor. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels is recommended during treatment.
Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before use. Additionally, let your doctor know about any other medicines you are taking, especially those used for heart or blood pressure conditions.

Benefits of Met XL AM Tablet
Met XL AM 50/5 Tablet combines two medicines that lower blood pressure in different ways. Together, they help relax blood vessels, reduce heart rate, and make it easier for the heart to pump blood. This results in better blood pressure control and a reduced risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney complications.
For maximum benefit, take this medicine regularly as prescribed and maintain healthy lifestyle habits such as regular exercise and a nutritious diet.

How it works
Met XL AM 50/5 Tablet contains two active ingredients: Metoprolol – a beta-blocker that slows the heart rate and reduces strain on the heart, and Amlodipine – a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow. Together, they effectively control blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart-related complications.
