Met XL-T 25 Tablet is a combination medication used for managing high blood pressure. By lowering blood pressure levels, it helps prevent complications such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage. When taken early after a heart attack, it may also improve survival outcomes.
The tablet should ideally be taken with meals and at the same time each day to ensure stable blood levels. It’s important to continue the medication as prescribed, even if you’re feeling well, since hypertension typically doesn’t cause noticeable symptoms. Suddenly stopping the medicine may lead to a worsening of your condition. Along with medication, maintaining a healthy lifestyle—such as staying active, following a balanced diet, and managing body weight—can further support blood pressure control.
Some common side effects may include headaches, tiredness, low blood pressure, dizziness, elevated potassium levels, nausea, and abdominal discomfort. In some cases, standing up too quickly may cause lightheadedness due to a drop in blood pressure. To avoid these symptoms, rise slowly from sitting or lying positions. The medicine may also cause drowsiness or fatigue, so caution should be taken while driving or operating heavy machinery. You may be advised to avoid foods rich in potassium and potassium supplements during treatment. Regular monitoring of kidney function, electrolyte levels, and blood pressure may be necessary while on this medication.
Before starting this treatment, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney issues. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before using this medicine. Also, make sure to share a list of any other medications you are currently taking, especially those used for heart conditions or blood pressure control, as interactions may occur.
This medicine contains two active ingredients: Telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure, and Metoprolol Succinate, a beta-blocker that slows the heart rate and reduces the heart’s workload. Together, they work effectively to manage blood pressure and lower the risk of cardiovascular complications.
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double up on doses.
Avoid consuming alcohol while on this medication, as it may amplify side effects like dizziness or drowsiness. While the medication is generally considered safe for people with kidney conditions, those with liver problems may require dose adjustments and close monitoring. Always consult your doctor for guidance tailored to your specific health status.
