About Metromax-AM 25 mg Tablet 10's

Metromax-AM 25 mg Tablet 10's belongs to the group of antihypertensive agents used to treat high blood pressure/hypertension and angina pectoris. High blood pressure is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels. Angina is basically a pain in the heart and chest. 

Metromax-AM 25 mg Tablet 10's contains Metoprolol succinate and Amlodipine. Metoprolol succinate works by slowing down the heart rate, thereby making it more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Amlodipine relaxes the blood vessels, thereby improving blood flow. Together, Metromax-AM 25 mg Tablet 10's helps treat high blood pressure.

Treatment of Hypertension and Angina pectoris

Medicinal Benefits

Metromax-AM 25 mg Tablet 10's is a combination antihypertensive medication containing Metoprolol succinate and Amlodipine. It is used primarily to treat hypertension and to relax the blood vessels for seamless flow of blood. Metoprolol succinate is a beta-blocker that eases the symptoms of hypertension by blocking catecholamines that lead to increased pressure and heart rate. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that decreases blood pressure by preventing the influx of calcium ions into cells and by enlarging and relaxing arteries. In addition, Metromax-AM 25 mg Tablet 10's also reduces the oxygen demands of the heart, relaxing the heart and blood vessels and requiring the heart to do less work.
