 How It Works

• Metolar 50mg Tablet  is a beta-1 selective adrenergic blocker.
• It stops adrenaline and noradrenaline, two stress chemicals, from affecting the heart and blood arteries.
• This makes the heart beat slower, the power of contraction weaker, and the blood vessels relax, which lowers blood pressure and makes the heart work less hard.

Medicine Interaction

• Metolar 50mg Tablet might interact with:
• Other antihypertensives, like Verapamil, Diltiazem, and Clonidine, can make your heart rate or blood pressure drop.
• Antiarrhythmics (like Amiodarone) might cause problems with cardiac rhythm.
• Antidiabetics (such insulin and metformin) may hide the signs of low blood sugar.
• NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) may make it less effective at lowering blood pressure.
• Alcohol or sedatives can make you feel more dizzy or sleepy.
• Always tell your doctor about any vitamins or medicines you are taking.
