Description:
Metoprolol 50 mg Extended Release is a beta-1 selective adrenergic blocker (beta-blocker) formulated for once-daily administration to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), chronic angina, and heart failure. This extended-release (ER) version slowly releases the medication over 24 hours, providing steady blood levels and consistent therapeutic effect throughout the day. It reduces heart rate, cardiac workload, and blood pressure, and helps prevent complications such as heart attack and stroke. This formulation is also commonly prescribed to improve survival after a heart attack and manage stable heart failure.
