Description
Product Introduction
Metol XL 50 tablet is a member of the beta-blocker class of medications. It is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (chest pain related to heart issues), and irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmia). Additionally, it helps prevent migraines, heart attacks, and strokes.
This medication may be prescribed on its own or in conjunction with other treatments. The dosage and frequency will depend on your specific condition and its severity. Metol XL can be taken on an empty stomach or with food, but it is important to take it consistently at the same time each day for maximum benefit. It may take several weeks to experience the full effects, and long-term use is often necessary. Even if you feel well, do not discontinue use without consulting your doctor, as high blood pressure can often be asymptomatic, and stopping the medication may lead to worsening of your condition.
Common side effects include tiredness, headache, depression, diarrhea, rash, slow heart rate, dizziness, and nausea. These effects are usually mild and temporary but can include shortness of breath or low blood pressure in some individuals. To minimize side effects, your doctor may start with a low dose and gradually increase it. Consult your doctor if side effects persist or become bothersome.
Before starting Metol XL, inform your doctor if you have any liver issues, a slow heart rate, severe circulation problems, severe heart failure, or low blood pressure. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also seek medical advice before using this medication. Regular blood pressure monitoring is advised to ensure the medication is effective. Avoid alcohol, as it may heighten certain side effects.
