Metoprolol

Metoprolol is a medicinal substance that is used to treat cardiovascular diseases. It belongs to a group of drugs called beta blockers, which control the activity of the heart muscle and help lower blood pressure.

Metoprolol is used to treat angina (chest pain caused by insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) and to normalize blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. It can also be used to treat other cardiovascular diseases such as arrhythmia and myocardial infarction.

Directions for use: Metoprolol is taken orally in the form of tablets or capsules. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the patient's condition and can only be determined by a doctor.

Side effects of metoprolol may include fatigue, nausea, vomiting and digestive problems. However, these effects usually go away once treatment is started and are not serious.

Trade names for metoprolol include betaloc and lopresor. Both drugs are effective treatments for cardiovascular diseases and are recommended for use only as prescribed by a doctor.

Metoprolol tartrate is a selective beta 1-blocker drug that is used to treat patients with high blood pressure, angina pectoris, chronic heart failure and atrial flutter.

Betaloc belongs to the group of selective adrenergic blockers without internal sympathomimetic activity. It has a negative inotropic and negative chronotropic effect, and has virtually no effect on conductivity and smooth muscle tone. Lowers systemic blood pressure, but increases cardiac output in healthy volunteers and patients with heart failure. After oral administration, metoprolol is rapidly absorbed. Bioavailability - about 70%.

Side effects may include fatigue, headache, dizziness, abdominal discomfort, nausea, diarrhea and sleep disturbances. Sometimes metoprolol can cause increased sensitivity to allergens, changes in skin color (chloasma) and a decrease in platelet counts. Less commonly, metoprolol can cause liver and kidney dysfunction, as well as arrhythmias and hypotension. If any side effects occur, you should consult your doctor for advice and possible dosage changes. The prescription of Metoprolol requires compliance with the dose, taking into account the age, weight and other individual factors of the patient. Metoprolol is taken orally (tablets, solution for infusion) or by injection. The daily dose is usually from 50 to 200 mg; in severe forms of both angina and high blood pressure, the daily norm can be increased to 400-600 mg. Regular therapy with metoprolol should be carried out under the supervision of a medical specialist throughout life. The duration of treatment also depends on the specific case and should be determined only by the attending physician.
