Metoprolol Succinate (Selomet SR 50) is a long-acting beta blocker that works specifically on the heart. It works by slowing down the heart rate and making the heart more efficient at pumping blood around the body. Metoprolol Succinate is used in the treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure), Angina (heart-related chest pain), Arrhythmia, heart attack, and migraine.
- Metoprolol Succinate helps to lower blood pressure, making it easier for your heart to pump blood throughout your body. It is also used to reduce the frequency and severity of chest pain (angina) caused by heart disease.
- Take once daily at the same time each day for best results. Consistency is key to controlling your condition.
- By reducing high blood pressure, this medication lowers your risk of heart attacks and strokes.
- For optimal results, pair this medication with healthy lifestyle habits such as:
- Eating a low-fat diet
- Engaging in regular physical activity
- Avoiding tobacco use
- Never discontinue Metoprolol Succinate suddenly without your doctor’s guidance, as it may cause a dangerous spike in blood pressure and raise the risk of serious heart problems, including heart attack and stroke.
- This medicine may cause lightheadedness or dizziness, especially when standing up quickly. Rise slowly from sitting or lying positions.
- Metoprolol may mask signs of low blood sugar (like rapid heartbeat), so be sure to monitor your blood glucose regularly if you have diabetes.
