Description
Product Introduction:
Starpress-AM XL 50 Tablet is a combination medication used for managing various heart-related conditions, including high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (heart-related chest pain), abnormal heart rhythms, and chronic heart failure. It works by combining the effects of two active ingredients that help to control heart rate, relax blood vessels, and reduce the workload on the heart.
Key Ingredients:
- Amlodipine (5mg): A calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels, reducing blood pressure and improving blood flow.
- Metoprolol Succinate (50mg): A beta-blocker that helps lower heart rate, reduce blood pressure, and decrease the strain on the heart.
Uses of Starpress-AM XL 50 Tablet:
- Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Helps reduce high blood pressure, thereby lowering the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.
- Angina (Chest Pain): Relieves heart-related chest pain by improving blood flow to the heart.
- Chronic Heart Failure: Assists in managing long-term heart failure by reducing the heart’s workload.
- Abnormal Heart Rhythms (Arrhythmias): Helps regulate heart rate and prevent abnormal rhythms.
How Starpress-AM XL 50 Tablet Works:
- Amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker) works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and reduces the heart’s workload. It also improves blood flow to the heart, relieving symptoms of angina.
- Metoprolol (a beta-blocker) slows the heart rate and reduces the force of the heart’s contractions, which also helps lower blood pressure and prevent abnormal heart rhythms.
