Scientific Evidence

Metoprolol, the active ingredient in Corvitol-50, is a selective beta-blocker that works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in the body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This results in a lowering of heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.

Studies have shown that metoprolol is effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes, in patients with hypertension and heart disease. It is also used to improve survival after a heart attack.

Additional Information

It is important to not suddenly stop taking Corvitol-50 as this can lead to worsening of heart conditions. Consult your doctor before discontinuing the medication.

Corvitol-50 may cause side effects such as dizziness, fatigue, and slow heart rate. If you experience any severe side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
