Metoprolol SR (sustained release) is a beta-blocker commonly prescribed for managing high blood pressure, angina, and certain heart conditions. It works by slowing the heart rate and reducing the workload on the heart, promoting better cardiovascular health.

Benefits of Metoprolol SR:

• Effectively lowers high blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart.
• Decreases the frequency and severity of chest pain (angina).

• Adjustments are made based on individual health conditions and response.
• Always follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations.

Warnings and Precautions:

• Avoid abrupt discontinuation to prevent adverse heart reactions.
• Not suitable for individuals with severe bradycardia, heart block, or uncontrolled heart failure.
• Inform your doctor about any respiratory issues, as beta-blockers may affect breathing.
