Product Description
MET XL H 25mg is a fixed-dose combination medication that contains Metoprolol Succinate (25.00mg/tablet) and Hydrochlorothiazide (12.50mg/tablet). It is used to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) in patients who require both medications for blood pressure control. Metoprolol Succinate is a beta-blocker that works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in the body, which helps to lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps to eliminate excess salt and water from the body, thereby reducing fluid accumulation and lowering blood pressure. MET XL H 25mg is prescribed to treat hypertension and may help prevent complications associated with high blood pressure, such as heart attacks and strokes.
