Metoprolol succinate and Amlodipine

About Metoprolol succinate and Amlodipine

METAPROLATE AM 50 is a powerful combination medication formulated to effectively manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and related cardiovascular conditions. It contains Metoprolol 47.50 mg, a cardio-selective beta-blocker, and Amlodipine 5 mg, a calcium channel blocker. Together, they help reduce the workload on the heart, relax blood vessels, and maintain optimal blood pressure levels. This dual-action approach not only helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems but also ensures better control over long-term cardiovascular health.

What is METAPROLATE AM 50?

METAPROLATE AM 50 is a prescription tablet that combines Metoprolol Succinate, a beta-blocker that slows down the heart rate and reduces blood pressure, with Amlodipine, which relaxes the smooth muscles of blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow. This combination is especially beneficial for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by a single medication.
