Uses of Metpure-XL 25 Tablet

What is it prescribed for?
Hypertension
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of blood vessels. Hypertension or high blood pressure occurs when blood vessels are tightened. As a result, the heart doesn’t get enough blood and increases the body’s oxygen demand. Metpure-XL 25 Tablet causes blood vessels to relax which helps to reduce the blood pressure and body’s oxygen demand. Therefore, Metpure-XL 25 Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure.
Angina pectoris
Angina pectoris is chest pain or discomfort due to reduced blood flow to the heart. It occurs when the blood vessels are narrowed or blocked. Metoprolol causes blood vessels to relax resulting in an improved blood flow to the heart. Therefore, Metpure-XL 25 Tablet is used to treat angina pectoris.
Heart Attack
Metpure-XL 25 Tablet reduces heart damage and lowers the risk of repeated heart attacks. Metpure-XL 25 Tablet is also used during the early stages of treatment of a heart attack.
Congestive Heart Failure
Your heart is an organ that pumps blood throughout your body. Heart failure occurs when your heart is unable to pump enough blood to body parts. The heart becomes weak and the heart muscle cannot keep up with its workload. Metpure-XL 25 Tablet slows down the activity of your heart and makes it easier to pump blood out of the heart and around the body. Metpure-XL 25 Tablet is used to treat congestive heart failure.

Cardiogenic shock
Cardiogenic shock is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to the organs. Metpure-XL 25 Tablet can further reduce cardiac output (amount of blood the heart pumps out in a minute) and blood pressure, which can be harmful in patients with cardiogenic shock.
Heart block greater than first degree
There are electrical signals that control the heartbeat. These signals tell your heart muscle to contract and pump blood correctly. Heart block occurs when these signals are slowed down. Heart block is named first-, second-, or third-degree. First-degree heart block is the least severe, second-degree heart block is severe and can often progress to third-degree heart block, the most severe form. Metpure-XL 25 Tablet is not recommended to treat second or third-degree heart block that requires emergency attention.
Decompensated heart failure
Decompensated heart failure is a condition where there is a change in the structure of heart tissue leading to an inability of the heart to pump and/or accommodate blood within normal pressure levels. Metpure-XL 25 Tablet can lower the blood pressure in patients with decompensated heart failure causing a necessity for immediate medical intervention
