Metolar XR 25 Capsule

Product Overview

Metolar XR 25 Capsule is a beta-blocker medicine used to manage conditions such as high blood pressure (hypertension), chest pain related to heart issues (angina), and irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia). Additionally, it helps in preventing migraines and lowers the risk of future heart attacks and strokes.

This medication can be used alone or in combination with other treatments, depending on the severity of your condition. It may be taken on an empty stomach or with food, but it is important to take it at the same time every day for best results. Full benefits may take a few weeks to appear, and lifelong use may be necessary. Even if you feel fine, you should not stop taking it without consulting your healthcare provider, as untreated hypertension can worsen over time.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects include:

Fatigue

Headache

Depression

Diarrhea

Your doctor will typically start you on a lower dose and gradually increase it to reduce side effects. Consult your healthcare provider if the symptoms persist or interfere with daily life.

Precautions

Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have liver issues or heart problems such as slow heartbeat, severe heart failure, or circulation disorders. It may not be suitable for everyone. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before using this medication. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is advised while on this treatment. Avoid alcohol consumption as it may heighten certain side effects.

Benefits

For high blood pressure treatment:
This capsule is a long-acting beta-blocker that works by slowing the heart rate and reducing the force of heartbeats. This helps lower blood pressure and prevents strain on the heart, reducing the chances of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney issues. Consistent use, even when feeling well, is crucial for long-term health.

How to Use

Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the capsule whole without chewing or breaking it. It can be taken with or without food but should be consumed at the same time each day. Avoid pairing it with high-fat meals like olive oil, nuts (such as Brazil nuts), dark chocolate, butter, or fatty meats, as they may interfere with its absorption.

How It Works

Metolar XR 25 Capsule acts specifically on the heart by slowing the heart rate and making it pump more efficiently. It also helps prevent migraines by calming nerve activity, blocking stress hormones, and stabilizing blood vessels, which lowers the frequency and severity of migraines.
