About Metflix-25 Tab

Metflix-25 Tab is used in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), heart-related chest pain (angina), and irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia). Hypertension is a lifelong or chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it leads to heart disease.

Metflix-25 Tab contains 'Metoprolol', which helps in slowing down the heart rate, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body.

In some cases, Metflix-25 Tab may cause certain common side effects like dizziness, tiredness, diarrhoea, stomach pain, nausea, and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
