Met XL Trio 50 Tablet ER’1*15

Product Introduction
Met XL Trio 50 Tablet ER is a combination medicine used for the treatment of patients with uncontrolled essential hypertension (high blood pressure) when single or dual therapy is not effective. It helps lower blood pressure and reduces the risk of future cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, or kidney problems.

Met XL Trio 50 Tablet ER can be taken at any time of the day, preferably with food, but it should be taken at the same time each day. Continue taking it as advised by your doctor, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Stopping the medicine suddenly may worsen your condition. Regular exercise, weight management, and a healthy diet can further help in maintaining blood pressure control.

This medicine may cause side effects such as nausea, taste changes, throat infection, dizziness, back pain, or ankle swelling. To reduce ankle swelling, elevate your legs while sitting. Avoid potassium-rich foods or supplements during treatment. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, blood sugar levels, and electrolytes may be advised by your doctor.

Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this medicine. Also, inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, especially those prescribed for heart conditions or high blood pressure.

Benefits of Met XL Trio Tablet ER
Met XL Trio 50 Tablet ER helps lower blood pressure by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood efficiently. This reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, and other heart or kidney-related complications. Although it does not provide immediate relief, regular use helps maintain normal blood pressure and promotes long-term cardiovascular health. It is especially beneficial for patients who remain uncontrolled on dual therapy or have coexisting heart conditions such as stable coronary artery disease.

How Met XL Trio Tablet ER Works
Met XL Trio 50 Tablet ER contains three medicines — Cilnidipine, Metoprolol, and Telmisartan — which work together to control blood pressure.

• Cilnidipine (a calcium channel blocker) relaxes and widens blood vessels.

• Telmisartan (an angiotensin receptor blocker) prevents blood vessel tightening.

• Metoprolol (a beta-blocker) slows the heart rate and reduces its workload.
  Together, they provide effective and comprehensive blood pressure control.
