Description

Met XL AM 50/5 tablet is used for the treatment of high blood pressure. It is also used to treat angina pectoris (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart). Met XL AM 50/5 tablet is also used for the treatment of coronary heart disease. This medicine
contains amlodipine and metoprolol as the active ingredients. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker while Metoprolol belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. Metoprolol relaxes blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body. On the other hand, Amlodipine widens and relaxes the blood vessels making the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Together, it helps to lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke.
