Description:
Metolar 50mg Tablet is a beta-blocker used for managing high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (chest pain due to heart-related issues), and irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmia). It also plays a key role in preventing future heart attacks, strokes, and migraines. Additionally, it is helpful in relieving symptoms associated with an overactive thyroid gland.
This medicine can be taken with or without food but should be taken regularly at the same time each day for the best results. The dosage and frequency will depend on your condition and how well you respond to the treatment. It may take several weeks to notice its full effect, and in most cases, it needs to be taken long-term. Do not stop taking it suddenly without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well, as this could worsen your condition—especially since high blood pressure often presents no symptoms.
Common side effects of Metolar 50mg Tablet include a sudden drop in blood pressure, slow heart rate, headache, dizziness, and nausea. In some cases, it may also cause shortness of breath or low blood pressure. These side effects are typically mild and temporary, but consult your doctor if they persist or cause concern. To minimize side effects, your doctor may start you on a lower dose and increase it gradually.
Inform your doctor before starting the medication if you have liver problems or conditions such as slow heart rate, poor circulation, severe heart failure, or very low blood pressure. It may not be suitable in such cases. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, you should also consult your doctor. Regular monitoring of your blood pressure is important during treatment. Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine, as it can amplify some side effects.
