Metoprolol Succinate (ER) 50 Mg + Amlodipine 5 Mg Tabs (Swas AM 5/50)- GA
₹92.07
The tablet containing Metoprolol Succinate (ER) 50 mg + Amlodipine 5 mg is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart-related chest pain (angina). It is a combination of two drugs that work synergistically to improve heart function and blood flow.
Key Information
- Uses: The primary uses are to manage high blood pressure and relieve angina. It may also be used as supportive treatment for chronic heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias).
- Mechanism of Action:
- Metoprolol succinate (ER) is a beta-blocker that reduces the heart rate and the heart’s workload by blocking the effects of certain stress hormones, making it easier to pump blood. The Extended Release (ER) formulation ensures a consistent effect throughout the day with once-daily dosing.
- Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and further lowering blood pressure.
- Administration: The tablet should be swallowed whole with water and should not be crushed, chewed, or broken. It can be taken with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood pressure control.
- Important Warning: Do not stop taking this medication suddenly without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well, as it can lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure and potentially serious complications like a heart attack or stroke.
