About Metolar 25 Tablet

Metolar 25 Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart-related chest pain (angina), irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia), and to protect the heart after a heart attack (myocardial infarction). Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the blood exerts an increased pressure against the arteries that may lead to various types of heart diseases. Besides this, Metolar 25 Tablet may also help in relieving symptoms of migraine-related headache and tremors (fits). 

Metolar 25 Tablet contains 'Metoprolol', which helps in slowing down the heart rate, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. This lowers the blood pressure and helps in reducing the risk of having a stroke, heart attack, or other heart or kidney problems in the future.

In some cases, Metolar 25 Tablet may cause certain common side effects like dizziness, tiredness, diarrhoea, stomach pain, nausea, and headache.
