Product Description
STARPRESS R XL 25mg is a fixed-dose combination medicine containing Ramipril and Metoprolol Tartrate. Ramipril is an ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitor, while Metoprolol Tartrate is a beta-blocker. This combination is primarily used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). Ramipril helps relax blood vessels, thereby reducing blood pressure, while Metoprolol Tartrate works by slowing down the heart rate and reducing the force of the heart's contractions. STARPRESS R XL 25mg is prescribed to lower blood pressure, relieve symptoms of heart failure, and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. It may also be used in certain cardiac conditions to improve survival and prevent heart-related complications.
